Question
The [Fe(CN)6]3- complex ion :
Options
A.exhibits planar geometry
B.is diamagnetic
C.should be very stable
D.has 2 unpaired electrons
Solution
It has octahedral geometry with d2sp3 hybridisation and is paramagnetic with one unpaired electron.
CFSE is greater because of strong field ligand, CN-. So the [Fe(CN)6]3- complex ion should be very stable.
