To determine the stability of the given coordination compounds, we will analyze each pair based on the charge on the central metal ion and the nature of the ligands. ### Step 1: Analyze K₄[Fe(CN)₆] vs K₃[Fe(CN)₆] 1. **Determine the oxidation state of Fe in both complexes.** - For K₄[Fe(CN)₆]: The overall charge of the complex is -4 (from K⁴). Since CN is a neutral ligand, we can set up the equation: \[ x + 6(-1) = -4 \implies x - 6 = -4 \implies x = +2 ...
