AI Generated Solution

To account for the magnetic behavior of the complexes \([Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}\) and \([Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}\), we will analyze the oxidation states of iron in each complex, the electron configurations, and the effect of the cyanide ligand as a strong field ligand. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of iron in \([Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}\) 1. The overall charge of the complex is \(-3\). 2. The cyanide ion \((CN^-)\) has a charge of \(-1\) and there are 6 cyanide ions. 3. Let the oxidation state of iron be \(x\). 4. Set up the equation: ...
