    Which of the following compounds is not coloured?

    A)  \[N{{a}_{2}}[Cu{{(Cl)}_{4}}]\]

    B)  \[Na[Cd{{(Cl)}_{4}}]\]

    C)  \[{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    D)  \[{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Complex compound having lack of unpaired electron is colourless. Among the given complexes, \[{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\] has no unpaired electron as \[C{{N}^{-}}\] being strong field ligand causes pairing of electrons. Thus, it is not coloured.
