Which of the metal ions in the following complex ions has a d⁵ electron configuration? A)V(H₂O)₆²⁺ B)RhCl₆^4- C)Co(CN)₄^- D)Fe(CN)₆^3- E)Mo(NH₃)₆³⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The d⁵ electron configuration indicates 5 unpaired electrons in the d-subshell, which corresponds to a high spin d5 configuration. Among the complex ions given, only Fe(CN)₆^3- has a high spin d5 configuration, making it the correct answer.
