Two complexes [Fe(CN)6]^(3-) and [Fe(CN)...

Two complexes `[Fe(CN)_6]^(3-)` and `[Fe(CN)_6]^(4-)` are given. Cómpare the stability of the complex lons. Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The higher the oxidation. state of the metal, the more stable is the complex. Here [Fe(CN) .._6^2]^ - . (oxidation state of iron .=+3. ) is more stable than .[Fe(CN)_6]_0^4. (oxidation state of iron ..=+2).
