To determine the stability of the given coordination compounds, we will analyze each pair based on the nature of the metal ion, the charge on the metal, and the ligands involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Comparing K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and K₃[Fe(CN)₆]:** - In K₄[Fe(CN)₆], the oxidation state of iron (Fe) is +2. - In K₃[Fe(CN)₆], the oxidation state of iron (Fe) is +3. - A higher oxidation state (+3) leads to greater splitting of the d-orbitals due to increased effective nuclear charge, which stabilizes the complex. ...
