(a) Write the IUPAC name and hybridisation of the complex .
(Given : Atomic number of )
(b) What is the difference between an ambidentate ligand and a chelating ligand ?
(a) IUPAC name and hybridisation of the complex 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
