Given the value of the pairing energy for the free ion Cr2+ is 20,425 cm-1 and the ^o value obtained from interpretation of the UV-visible spectrum of [Cr(H2O)6]2+ is 17,400cm-1 predict whether the complex will be high spin or low spin. Include in your answer an explanation of the role of how pairing energy is important in determining the electronic occupancy of the d-orbitals.
