The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reactions of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ with excess cyanide (CN⁻) and identify the complexes formed, denoted as P and Q, respectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complexes Formed:** - For the reaction of Fe²⁺ with excess CN⁻: \[ \text{Fe}^{2+} + \text{CN}^- \rightarrow \text{P} \] The complex formed is \(\text{K}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]\), which is known as potassium ferrocyanide. - For the reaction of Fe³⁺ with excess CN⁻: \[ \text{Fe}^{3+} + \text{CN}^- \rightarrow \text{Q} \] The complex formed is \(\text{K}_3[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]\), which is known as potassium ferricyanide. 2. **Determine the Color of the Complexes:** - The complex P (\(\text{K}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]\)) is typically yellow or light green. - The complex Q (\(\text{K}_3[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]\)) is known to form a deep blue color, which is referred to as Prussian blue. 3. **Hybridization of the Complexes:** - Both complexes involve the coordination of cyanide, which is a strong field ligand. - For Fe²⁺ (\(d^6\) configuration), the hybridization is \(d^2sp^3\). - For Fe³⁺ (\(d^5\) configuration), the hybridization is also \(d^2sp^3\). 4. **Magnetic Properties:** - Complex P (from Fe²⁺) has no unpaired electrons, making it diamagnetic. - Complex Q (from Fe³⁺) has one unpaired electron, making it paramagnetic. 5. **Comparison of Magnetic Moments:** - Since complex P is diamagnetic (no unpaired electrons), and complex Q is paramagnetic (one unpaired electron), the magnetic moment of Q will be greater than that of P. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis, we can summarize the findings about complexes P and Q: - **P** is \(\text{K}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]\) (yellow/light green, diamagnetic). - **Q** is \(\text{K}_3[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]\) (deep blue, paramagnetic, Prussian blue). Thus, the correct statement regarding P and Q is that Q gives the Prussian blue color, while P does not.
