Vedclass · Answer

(B) The $EAN$ (Effective Atomic Number) is calculated using the formula: $EAN = Z - 	ext{oxidation state} + 2 	imes 	ext{coordination number}$.For $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$:$1$. The atomic number $(Z)$ of $Fe$ is $26$.$2$. Let the oxidation state of $Fe$ be $x$. Then $x + 6(-1) = -3$,which gives $x = +3$.$3$. The coordination number of $Fe$ is $6$.$4$. $EAN = 26 - 3 + 2(6) = 23 + 12 = 35$.

What is the $EAN$ of $Fe$ in $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$?
