Q5.15(i):
Discuss the nature of bonding in the following coordination entities on the basis of valence bond theory:
\([Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}\)
Solution :
Step 1: Determining the Oxidation State of the Central Metal Ion
To analyze the bonding, we first identify the oxidation state of the iron ($Fe$) atom in the coordination entity $[Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}$.
Let the oxidation state of $Fe$ be $x$. The cyanide ion ($CN^-$) carries a charge of $-1$.
$x + 6(-1) = -4$
$x - 6 = -4 \implies x = +2$
[Per the rules of oxidation state determination in complex ions]. The iron exists as $Fe^{2+}$ ion.
Step 2: Electronic Configuration of Iron
- Atomic number of $Fe (Z) = 26$.
- Ground state configuration: $[Ar] 3d^6 4s^2$.
- Electronic configuration of $Fe^{2+}$: $[Ar] 3d^6 4s^0$.
The $3d$ orbitals contain 6 electrons. According to Hund's Rule and the Pauli Exclusion Principle, the electrons are distributed as: $d_{xy}^2, d_{yz}^1, d_{zx}^1, d_{x^2-y^2}^1, d_{z^2}^1$.
Step 3: Effect of the Ligand Field
The ligand $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand [Per the Spectrochemical Series]. Consequently, it forces the electrons in the $3d$ orbitals to pair up to facilitate hybridization.
Before pairing: $3d$ (6 electrons distributed in 5 orbitals with 4 unpaired electrons).
After pairing (due to $CN^-$): The 6 electrons occupy the three lower $t_{2g}$ orbitals (in octahedral terminology), leaving the two $e_g$ orbitals vacant.
Step 4: Hybridization and Geometry
To accommodate the 6 pairs of electrons donated by the 6 $CN^-$ ligands, the metal ion utilizes two $3d$, one $4s$, and three $4p$ vacant orbitals. This results in $d^2sp^3$ hybridization.
Step 5: Magnetic and Electronic Properties
| Property | Result |
|---|---|
| Magnetic Nature | Diamagnetic (all electrons are paired) |
| Magnetic Moment ($\mu$) | $\sqrt{n(n+2)} = \sqrt{0(0+2)} = 0 \text{ B.M.}$ |
| Complex Type | Inner-orbital complex (or low-spin complex) |
| Geometry | Octahedral |
Final Solution: The complex $[Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}$ undergoes $d^2sp^3$ hybridization, resulting in an inner-orbital octahedral geometry that is diamagnetic due to the pairing effect of the strong-field cyanide ligands.

My teaching experience with Class 12 students has been particularly focused on preparing them for their board exams and laying a strong foundation for their future studies. Here’s a detailed overview: Subject Focus I typically teach core subjects such as Sociology, legal studies, political science, tailoring my approach to meet the curriculum requirements and exam formats. Understanding the syllabus deeply allows me to create targeted lessons that cover essential concepts and exam strategies. Lesson Planning I design my lessons to be interactive and engaging. Each session begins with a brief review of previous topics, followed by the introduction of new concepts. I incorporate real-world applications to make the material relatable, which helps students grasp complex theories more easily. Differentiated Instruction Recognizing that students have varied learning styles and paces, I employ differentiated instruction techniques. I provide additional resources for students who need extra help and offer advanced materials for those who seek more challenge. This ensures that every student feels supported and encouraged to progress. Practice and Assessment Regular assessments are crucial at this level, so I implement weekly quizzes and mock exams to track progress. I emphasize the importance of practice and often assign homework that reinforces the concepts learned in class. I provide constructive feedback, helping students identify their strengths and areas for improvement. Encouraging Critical Thinking I promote critical thinking through problem-solving sessions and group discussions. Encouraging students to ask questions and explore different problem-solving methods fosters a deeper understanding of the material. Building Confidence Many Class 12 students face anxiety about their exams, so I focus on building their confidence. I share study tips, stress management techniques, and help them develop a study schedule that balances their workload. Celebrating small victories, such as improved test scores or grasping difficult concepts, helps boost their self-esteem. Communication and Support Maintaining open lines of communication is essential. I encourage students to reach out with questions or concerns, whether during or outside of class. I also engage with parents to keep them informed of their child’s progress, creating a supportive learning environment. Reflective Practice After each tutoring session, I reflect on what worked well and what could be improved. This self-assessment helps me refine my teaching strategies to better meet the needs of my students. Overall, teaching Class 12 students is a dynamic and fulfilling experience. Witnessing their growth and preparing them for the next chapter in their academic journey is incredibly rewarding.
