Amongst the following, the most stable complex is -

A

`[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)`

B

`[Fe(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)`

C

`[Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]^(3-)`

D

`[FeCl_(6)]^(3-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In each of the given complexes, the central metal atom `(Fe)` is in `+3` oxidation state. Since `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)` is a didentate ligand, it forms stable chelate ring with `Fe^(3+)` ion and hence `[Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]^(3-)` is the most stable complex.
