Vedclass · Answer

(A) The hexacyanoferrate$(II)$ ion is $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$.$1$. The central metal ion is $Fe^{2+}$.$2$. The atomic number $(Z)$ of $Fe$ is $26$.$3$. The number of electrons in $Fe^{2+}$ is $26 - 2 = 24$.$4$. Each $CN^-$ ligand donates $2$ electrons. Since there are $6$ ligands,the total electrons donated by ligands = $6 	imes 2 = 12$.$5$. $EAN = (	ext{Number of electrons in metal ion}) + (	ext{Number of electrons donated by ligands})$.$6$. $EAN = 24 + 12 = 36$.
