For the coordination compound K₃[Fe(CN)₆],identify,in order,the charge on the complex ion,the oxidation state of the metal,and the coordination number of the metal.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- The charge on the complex ion can be calculated by adding up the charges on the individual ions: K(+1) + _{3S(-1) + Fe(CN)₆(0) +}(-2) = 3+. Therefore, the charge on the complex ion is 3+. - The oxidation state of Fe can be determined by assuming that the cyanide ligands are -1 and the overall charge of the complex ion is 3+. Since there is only one Fe atom in the complex ion, its oxidation state is +3. - The coordination number of the metal can be found by counting the number of ligands coordinated to the metal. In this case, there are six cyanide ligands, so the coordination number of Fe is 6. Therefore, the correct choice is D.
