Crystal field theory
Question

What is the correct electronic configuration of the central atom in K4Fe(CN)6 based on crystal field theory?

Moderate
Solution

 In K4Fe(CN)6 complex, Fe is in +2 oxidation state. 

 As CN-is a strong field ligand, it causes pairing of electrons   therefore, electronic configuration of Fe2+ in K4Fe(CN)6 is t2 g6eg0
