Assertion: [Fe(EDTA)]^(-) complex is oct...

Assertion: `[Fe(EDTA)]^(-)` complex is octahedral in shape.
Reason: EDTA is a hexadentate ligand and undergoing `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation.

A

If assertion is true but the reason is false

B

If assertion is false but reason is true

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
EDTA is hexadentate ligand. When it forms complex with a metal cation, the hybridisation of central atom will be `d^(2)sp^(3)`
