[FeF6]4- is which type of complex?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
In [FeF6]4- ion
x + 6(-1) = -4
x - 6 = -4
x = -4 + 6 = 2
Fe2+: [Ar]3d6
As F- is a weaker field ligand. So, it will not involve 3d orbitals by pairing the electrons, but it will use 4d-orbitals of Fe2+ ion making it a outer orbital complex.
