Assertion : Potassium ferrocyanide is di...

Assertion : Potassium ferrocyanide is diamagnetic whereas potassium ferricyanide is paramagnetic.
Reason : Crystal field splitting in ferrocyanide ion is greater than that of ferricyanide ion.

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the 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:
C
Correct R. In ferrocyanide, Fe is in oxidation state + 2 while in ferricyanide, Fe is in oxidation state + 3. Higher the oxidation state of the metal, greater is the crystal field splitting.
