Which follows EAN Rule? |
[Pd(NH3)6]Cl4 [Cr(NH3)5Cl] SO4 Na4[Fe(CN)6] K3[Fe(CN)6] |
Na4[Fe(CN)6] |
The correct answer is option 3. Na4[Fe(CN)6] We know, Effective Atomic number (EAN) = Atomic number of the central metal atom − Oxidation number of central metal − Coordination number (1) \([Pd(NH_)3)_6]Cl_4\) The atomic number of Palladium (Pd) is 46 Here, Pd is in + 4 oxidation state \(∴ EAN = 46 − 4 + 12 = 54\) (2) [Cr(NH3)5Cl] SO4 The atomic number of Chromium (Cr) is 24 Here, Pd is in + 3 oxidation state \(∴ EAN = 24 − 3 + 10 + 2 = 33\) (3) Na4[Fe(CN)6] The atomic number of Iron (Fe) is 26 Here, Pd is in + 2 oxidation state \(∴ EAN = 26 − 2 + 12 = 36\) Which resembles the electronic configuration of \(Kr\) which is 36. So, it follows EAN (4) K3[Fe(CN)6] The atomic number of Iron (Fe) is 26 Here, Pd is in + 3 oxidation state \(∴ EAN = 26 − 3 + 12 = 35\) So, the correct answer is (3) Na4[Fe(CN)6] |
