MCQ
Which statement is true for sodium nitro prusside?
  • A
    $'NO-$ ligand'  acts as cationic ligand.
  • B
    $'Fe'$  present in $+2$  oxidation state
  • It's used to give test of  $S^{-2}$  ion
  • D
    All of the above are correct

Answer

Correct option: C.
It's used to give test of  $S^{-2}$  ion
c
$EAN = Z - X + Y$

$Z =$ Atomic number of the metal

$X =$ Number of electrons lost during the formation of the metal ion from its atom

$Y =$ Number of electrons donated by the ligands

$EAN = Z - X + Y$

$36=26-2+Y$

$Y =12$

Hence, the number of monodentate ligand in this complex are $\frac{12}{2}=6$.
