Question

Write formula to calculate EAN with the significance of terms involved in it. Calculate EAN of [Fe(CN)6]3–.

Sum

Solution

Formula to calculate EAN:

EAN = Number of electrons of metal ion + total number of electrons donated by ligands

= Atomic number of metal (Z) – Number of electrons lost by metal to form the ion (X) + Number of electrons donated by ligands (Y).

= Z – X + Y

EAN of [Fe(CN)6]3–:

Oxidation state of Fe is +3 and ligands donate 12 electrons.

Z = 26, X = 3, Y = 12

EAN of Fe3+ = Z – X + Y

= 26 – 3 + 12

= 35
