[Fe(CN)₆]³⁻ should be an inner orbital complex. Ignoring the pairing energy, the value of crystal field stabilization energy for this complex is (-) ____ Δₒ. (Nearest integer)
Answer: 2
Solution
For [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻:
Fe³⁺ has electronic configuration 3d⁵
CN⁻ is a strong field ligand causing pairing
In octahedral field, the five d-electrons occupy the t₂g orbitals: t₂g⁵ eₘ⁰
