State the hybridization and magnetic property of [Fe(CN)6]3- ion according to the valence bond theory. |
|
Answer» Fe3+ has 6 vacant d2sp3 hybrid orbitals. The hybrid orbitals accommodate 6 pairs of electrons from 6CN– ions and form 6 coordinate bonds. Now, Fe3- has one unpaired electron and, therefore, [Fe(CN)6]4- ion is paramagnetic. |
