Options
- A[ CoCl ₂( en )₂ ] Cl
- B[ Fe ( H ₂ O )₆ ] Cl ₃
- CK [ Ag ( CN )₂ ]
- D[ F _ e ( CO )₅ ]
Correct answer
B. [ Fe ( H ₂ O )₆ ] Cl ₃
Step-by-step solution
[ Fe ( H ₂ O )₆ ] Cl ₃ [ Fe ( H ₂ O )₆ ]³⁺+3 Cl ⁻ i. Homoleptic - Fe is linked to only one type of ligand, H ₂ O . ii. Cationic Complex - due to positive charge on complex ion.
