  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_3\right]^{3+}\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-}\) Oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Cr}: x+(-1) 6=-3\) \[ \begin{aligned} x & =+3 \\ \mathrm{Cr} & =[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^1 3 d^5 \\ \mathrm{Cr}^{3+} & =[\mathrm{Ar}] 4 s^0 3 d^3 \end{aligned} \] Since, \(\mathrm{CN}\) is a strong field…
