The correct Answer is:
To determine which complex shows more stability among the given options, we will analyze the ligands and their binding characteristics with the central metal ion, which in this case is Fe³⁺. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complexes:** - The complexes given are: - A: [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ - B: [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻ - C: [Fe(C₂O₄)₃]³⁻ - D: [FeCl₆]³⁻ 2. **Analyze the Ligands:** - **A: [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺** - Ligand: H₂O (a monodentate ligand) - Type: Sigma donor - **B: [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻** - Ligand: CN⁻ (a monodentate ligand) - Type: Pi acceptor - **C: [Fe(C₂O₄)₃]³⁻** - Ligand: C₂O₄²⁻ (a bidentate ligand) - Type: Chelate ring formation - **D: [FeCl₆]³⁻** - Ligand: Cl⁻ (a monodentate ligand) - Type: Sigma donor 3. **Stability Considerations:** - Bidentate ligands (like C₂O₄²⁻) form chelate rings, which generally provide greater stability to the complex due to the chelate effect. - Monodentate ligands (like H₂O, CN⁻, and Cl⁻) do not form such stable structures as they bind through a single site. 4. **Comparison of Stability:** - Among the ligands: - H₂O and Cl⁻ are weak field ligands and provide less stability. - CN⁻ is a strong field ligand but is still monodentate. - C₂O₄²⁻ is a bidentate ligand, which typically results in a more stable complex due to the chelate effect. 5. **Conclusion:** - The complex with the bidentate ligand C₂O₄²⁻ ([Fe(C₂O₄)₃]³⁻) is expected to be the most stable due to the formation of chelate rings. - Therefore, the answer is **C: [Fe(C₂O₄)₃]³⁻**.
