    Which one of the following pairs of complexes has the effective atomic number equal to 36 for the transition element?

    A)  \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]C{{l}_{3}}:{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    B)  \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]C{{l}_{3}};[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]C{{l}_{3}}]\]

    C)  \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}];{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    D)  \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}];{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     EAN = At. no. of central metal ion - (oxidation state of central metal) \[+(C.N.\times 2)\]where, EAN = Effective atomic number.        In \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}],EAN\]for Fe \[EAN=26-0+(5\times 2)\] \[=26+10=36\] In \[{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}],EAN\]of Fe \[=26-2+(6\times 2)\] \[=26-2+12\] \[=36\] Hence, in \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}]\] and \[{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]the EAN for central metal ie, Fe is 36.
