    Which of the following statements is incorrect? [KCET 2004]

    A) In \[{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}],\] the ligand has satisfied only the secondary valency of ferric ion.

    B) In \[{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}],\] the ligand has satisfied both primary and secondary valencies of ferric ion.

    C) In \[{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}],\] the ligand has satisfied both primary and secondary valencies of ferrous ion.

    D) In \[[Cu{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]S{{O}_{4}},\] the ligand has satisfied only the secondary valency of copper.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      In \[{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\] the ligand are negative which is present in coordination spheres shows a dual behaviour. It may satisfied both primary & secondary valencies while neutral ligand satisfied only secondary valencies.
