(a) IUPAC name and hybridisation of the complex \left [ Fe(CN)_{6} \right ]^{3-}is

Hexacyanidoferrate(III) / Hexacyanoferrate(III)  and d2sp3 respectively

(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
