MCQ
Amongst the following, the most stable complex is :
  • A
    $\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}$
  • B
    $\left[ Fe \left( NH _3\right)_6\right]^{3+}$
  • $\left.Fe \left( C _2 O _4\right)_3\right]^{3-}$
  • D
    $\left[ FeCl _6\right]^{3-}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\left.Fe \left( C _2 O _4\right)_3\right]^{3-}$
(C) Because it contains $C _2 O _4^{2-}$ (oxalate) ligand which is chelating and this increases stability.
