question

(a) write the iupac name and hybridisation of the complex .
(given : atomic number of )

(b) what is the difference between an ambidentate ligand and a chelating ligand ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a) iupac name and hybridisation of the complex is

hexacyanidoferrate(iii) / hexacyanoferrate(iii) and d2sp3respectively

(b) ligand which can ligate through two different atoms is called ambidentate ligand whereas di- or polydentate ligand uses its two or more donor atoms to bind a single metal ion. a chelating ligand forms a more stable complex as compared to an ambidentate ligand. chelating ligand forms a cyclic complex while ambidentate ligand forms a non-cyclic complex
