MCQ
Assertion : $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$ is weakly paramagnetic while $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$ is diamagnetic.

Reason : $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$ has $+3$ oxidation state while $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}$ has $+2$ oxidation state.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
b
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of
statement $-1$. $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$ is weakly paramagnetic as it has unpaired electrons while $[Fe(CN)_6]^{2-}$ has no unpaired electron.

$\therefore $            It is diamagnetic.
