Determine the oxidation number (O.N) of Fe in `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the oxidation number (O.N) of Fe in the complex ion \([Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the oxidation number of the ligands The ligand in this complex is cyanide (CN). The oxidation number of CN is \(-1\). ### Step 2: Set up the equation for the oxidation number of Fe Let the oxidation number of Fe be \(x\). Since there are six cyanide ligands, their total contribution to the charge will be \(6 \times (-1) = -6\). ...
