Assertion : [Fe(H(2)O)(6)]^(2+) is sp^(3...

Assertion : `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)` is `sp^(3) d^(2)` hybridised and paramagnetic complex ion .
Reason : `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)` has four unpaired electrons as `H_(2)O` is a weak field ligand .

A

If both Assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

if both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Due to presence of unpaired electrons , it is paramagnetic in nature .
