For the complex [Fe(en)2 Cl2] Cl, identify the following:(i) Oxidation number of iron.(ii) Hybrid orbitals and shape of the complex.(iii) Magnetic behaviour of the complex.(iv) Number of its geometrical isomers.(v) Whether there may be optical isomer also.(vi) Name of the complex.

Answer»

(i) [Fe (en)2Cl2]Cl

x + 0 x 2 + (–1) x 2 + (–1) x 1 = 0        x =3

Oxidation number of iron = 3

(ii) d2sp3 hybridization, Octahedral

(iii) Paramagnetic

(iv) Two

(v) Yes, cis-[Fe(en)2Cl2]

(vi) Bis–(ethane-1, 2-diamine)–dichlorido iron (III) chloride
