    Which of the following ion does not follow \[EAN\] rule?

    A) \[{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\]                      

    B) \[{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[{{[PtC{{l}_{6}}]}^{2-}}\]                            

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: \[EAN=\] Atomic number of central atom \[+\] number of \[{{e}^{-}}\] gained via ligands \[-\] oxidation state of central atom According to \[EAN\] for stable complex value \[EAN=\] Atomic number of noble gas. \[{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\]                 \[EAN=26+2\times 6-2\]                           \[=36\] \[36\] is atomic number of \[Ar\] (noble gas). So this complex follows \[EAN\] rule. \[{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\]                 \[EAN=47+2\times 2-1\]                           \[=50\] \[\because \,\,50\]is not atomic number of any noble gas. \[\therefore \]it does not follow EAN rule. \[{{[PtC{{l}_{6}}]}^{2-}}\]                 \[EAN=78+2\times 6-4\]                           \[=86\] \[86\]is atomic number of noble gas \[Rn\]. So it follows EAN rule.
