To determine the number of unpaired electrons in the complexes \([Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\) and \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\) using crystal field theory, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of iron in each complex. For \([Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\): - Let the oxidation state of iron be \(x\). - The charge of cyanide (CN) is \(-1\), and there are 6 cyanide ligands. - Therefore, the equation is: \[ ...
