MCQ
Which of the following complexes has the highest stability constant at $298 \,K$ 
  • A
    ${\left[ {CdC{l_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$
  • B
    ${\left[ {CdB{r_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$
  • C
    ${\left[ {Cd{I_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$
  • ${\left[ {Cd{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${\left[ {Cd{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$
d
(d) The cyano and ammine complexes are far more stable than those formed by halide ions. This is due to the fact that $N{H_3}$ and $C{N^ - }$are strong lewis bases.
