Hybridization and shape of \(Cs \left[ FeCl _4\right]\) is :

  1. A \(d^2 s p^8\), octahedral
  2. B \(s p^3\), tetrahedral
  3. C \(d s p^2\), tetrahedral
  4. D \(s p^3 d^2\), octahedral
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(s p^3\), tetrahedral

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxidation state of Fe: \(+3\) Fe(III) electron configuration: \([Ar] 3d^5\) Coordination number: \(4\) Cl is a weak field ligand; high spin \(d^5\) complex prefers tetrahedral geometry. Hybridization: \(sp^3\) Shape: Tetrahedral
