[Fe (CN)6]4- is called as _.
Correct answer: D. Complex anion.
- A. Complex compound.
- B. Transition element ion.
- C. Anion.
- D. Complex anion.
Explanation
Option A: Complex compound, is a broader term that can refer to any compound that contains a complex ion, including both cationic and anionic complexes.Option B: Transition element ion, is a term that refers to any ion of a transition metal element. While Fe2+ is a transition metal ion, [Fe(CN)6]4- is a complex ion that contains a transition metal ion.Option C: Anion, is a term that refers to any negatively charged ion. While [Fe(CN)6]4- is an anion, it is specifically a complex anion due to the presence of the central metal ion and surrounding ligands.Option D: A complex ion is an ion comprising one or more ligands attached to a central metal cation (typically a transition metal) with a dative covalent bond. The number of lone pairs of electrons that a cation can accept is known as the coordination number of the cation.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
