What is the correct electronic configuration of the central atom in K4FeCN6 based on crystal field theroy?

  • A
    t2g4eg2
  • Correct answer
    B
    t2g6eg0
  • C
    e3t23
  • D
     e4t22

Solution

In the complex: K4FeCN6, Fe exists as Fe2+.

Electronic configuration=Ar3d6

Figure

∵CN is a strong ligand, it will cause pairing up →

Figure

∴ Electronic configuration is t2g6eg0
