Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the coordination number of the central metal ion in the complex [Fe(CN)6]3-?
  • Step 1: Identify the central metal ion in the complex [Fe(CN)6]3-. The central metal ion is Fe (iron).
  • Step 2: Look at the ligands attached to the central metal ion. In this case, there are 6 cyanide (CN) ligands.
  • Step 3: Understand that the coordination number is determined by the number of ligands directly bonded to the central metal ion.
  • Step 4: Since there are 6 cyanide ligands bonded to the iron ion, the coordination number is 6.
