Q68.In which of the following complexes the CFSE, Δo will be equal to zero? (1) [Fe(en)3]Cl3 (2) K4 [Fe(CN)6] (3) [Fe(NH3)6]Br2 (4) K3 [Fe(SCN)6]

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of Crystal Field Theory, specifically how CFSE becomes zero for certain d-electron configurations in octahedral complexes, which occurs for d⁰ and d¹⁰ configurations.
