Question : 24 of 37
Marks: +1, -0
(a) Write the IUPAC name and hybridisation of the complex [Fe(CN)6]3[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6]^{3-}.
(Given : Atomic number of Fe=26\mathrm{Fe} = 26 )
(b) What is the difference between an ambidentate ligand and a chelating ligand?
Solution:  
(a) [Fe(CN)6]3[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6]^{3} - hexacyanoferrate (III) ion hybridization d2sp3-d^{2} s p^{3}
(b) Ambidentate ligand can bond through different atoms to form different coordination compounds. e.g. NO2\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}can bind to the central atom or ion at either the nitrogen atom or one of the oxygen atom.
Chelating ligand : If the ligands with two or more electron donor groups positioned in such a way that they form five or six membered ring with central metal ion are called chelating ligands. e.g. ethane -1, 2-diamine (en)
