Amongst the following, the most stable complex is
Options
- A\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{3+}
- B\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}
- C\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3\right]^{3-}
- D
Correct answer
C. \left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3\right]^{3-}
Step-by-step solution
\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3\right]^{3-} is the most stable complex due to chelate formation as is a bidentate chelating ligand.
