K4[F e(C N)6] leftharpoons 4 K++[F e(C N)6]4- is +2 F e2+-1 s2, 2 s2 2 p6, 3 s2 3 p6, 4 s0 4 p Since CN -is a strong field ligand, pairing occurs and the hybridisation of [F e(C N)6]4- is d2 s p3 and structure is octahedral.

Q. Potassium ferrocyanide is an example of _____ complex

tetrahedral

octahedral

square planar

linear

$K_{4} [F e (CN)_{6}] ⇌ 4 K^{+} + [F e (CN)_{6}]^{4 -}$ is $+ 2$
$F e^{2 +} - 1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}, 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6}, 4 s^{0} 4 p$
Since $C N^{-}$ is a strong field ligand, pairing occurs and the hybridisation of $[F e (CN)_{6}]^{4 -}$ is $d^{2} s p^{3}$ and structure is octahedral.
