Amongst the following , the most stable complex is : (a) `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` (b) `[Fe(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` (c) `[Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]^(3-)` (d) `[FeCl_(6)]^(3-)` .

Answer» In all the complexes , Fe is in + 3 oxidation state. However, the complex (c) is a chelate because three `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)` ions act as the chelating ligands. Thus, the most stable complex is (c) .
