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.
To add tartness / good luck and will you mark me brainliest please
The relative charge of a proton is +1. The relative mass of a proton is 1. The location of a proton is in the nucleus of an atom.
Hope this helps!
The answer that would best complete the given statement above would be option A. Both "Ode to the West wind" and "Ode for Melancholy" praise <span>something non-human. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day ahead!</span>
