Assertion: K(4)[Fe(CN(6)] is diamagnetic...

Assertion: `K_(4)[Fe(CN_(6)]` is diamagnetic and `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3)` is paramagnetic.
Reason: Hybridisation of central metal in `K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]" is "sp^(3) d^(2)`, which in `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3)" is "d^(2) sp^(3)`.

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C

Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

Both Assertion and Reason are false

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about the complexes \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) and \( [Fe(H_2O)_6]Cl_3 \), we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) is diamagnetic. 1. **Determine the oxidation state of Iron in \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \)**: - The cyanide ion \( CN^- \) has a charge of -1, and there are 6 cyanide ions. - Therefore, the total negative charge from the cyanide ions is \( 6 \times (-1) = -6 \). - To balance this, the oxidation state of Iron (Fe) must be +2. - Thus, \( Fe^{2+} \) is present in the complex. 2. **Electronic configuration of \( Fe^{2+} \)**: - The electronic configuration of neutral Iron (Fe) is \( [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2 \). - For \( Fe^{2+} \), it loses two electrons, resulting in \( [Ar] 3d^6 \). 3. **Identify the ligand field strength**: - Cyanide \( CN^- \) is a strong field ligand, which causes pairing of electrons in the d-orbitals. 4. **Determine the electron pairing**: - In the presence of a strong field ligand, the 6 electrons in \( 3d \) will pair up, resulting in no unpaired electrons. - Therefore, \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) is indeed diamagnetic. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that the hybridization of the central metal in \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) is \( sp^3d^2 \) and in \( [Fe(H_2O)_6]Cl_3 \) it is \( d^2sp^3 \). 1. **Hybridization of \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \)**: - Since \( Fe^{2+} \) has 6 electrons in the \( 3d \) orbitals and is coordinated by 6 cyanide ligands, the hybridization involves 2 \( d \) orbitals, 1 \( s \) orbital, and 3 \( p \) orbitals. - Therefore, the correct hybridization is \( d^2sp^3 \) (not \( sp^3d^2 \)). 2. **Hybridization of \( [Fe(H_2O)_6]Cl_3 \)**: - In this complex, \( Fe \) is in the +3 oxidation state, which means it has \( [Ar] 3d^5 \) configuration. - Water \( H_2O \) is a weak field ligand, and the hybridization will involve 3 \( p \) orbitals and 2 \( d \) orbitals. - Thus, the hybridization is also \( d^2sp^3 \) (not \( sp^3d^2 \)). ### Conclusion - The assertion is **true**: \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) is diamagnetic. - The reason is **false**: The hybridization descriptions provided are incorrect. ### Final Answer The correct option is **C**: The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
