iii. \(\left[\mathrm{FeF}_6\right]^{3-}\)
iv. \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\)

  1. A i, iv, ii, iii
  2. B iv, i, iii, ii
  3. C iv, i, ii, ii
  4. D i, iv, iii, ii
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) iv, i, ii, ii

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-}:-\) \(\mathrm{Fe}\) is in +3 state and \(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\)is a strong-field ligand. Thus, \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^5\) or Thus, there is only one unpaired electron. (ii)…
