Which complex is more stable between [Fe(CN)6]4 and [Fe(CN)6]3?

Open in App
Solution

[Fe(CN)6]4
Fe+2 Ion
CN strong field ligand
Refer IMAGE 01.
Spin multiplicity =2s+1=1
[Fe(CN)6]3
Fe+3 Ion
CN strong field ligand
Refer IMAGE 02.
Spin multiplicity =2s+1=2×121=2
So, greater the spin multiplicity, greater the stability.
So, the given statement is false, i.e., 0
