    The most stable complex among the following is

    A)  \[{{[Pd{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{4-}}\]    

    B)  \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}]\]

    C)  \[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{4-}}\]      

    D)  \[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{3-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Stability of a complex depends upon the strength of ligand and charge of the central metal ion. Stability of complex \[\propto \] strength of ligand \[\propto \]charge of central metal ion. Among the given complexes, in \[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{3-}}\], the charge of central metal ion is highest, ie, +1 while CO is the strongest field ligand. Hence, \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}]\] is the most stable complex among the given complexes.
