Answer:
CN^- is a strong field ligand
Explanation:
The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).
Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.
Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.

I hope u have a better rest of ur day
First you need to know the different between an ionic and covalent bond. An ionic bond is the pairing of a metal and non-metal element. A covalent bond is the pairing of 2 nonmetals.
Metals are the elements at the left of the periodic table while non-metals are the elements at the right of the periodic table.
You should also know the diatomic (di means 2) molecules also known as the fab 7. These molecules will always form covalent bonds. These molecules are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. With the subscripts, these molecules would be written as H ₂, N ₂, O ₂, F ₂, Cl ₂, Br ₂, and I ₂.

Farther=Freeze
We are the perfect distance away from the sun for it to sustain life.
