    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 :

    [b] 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 RAN = Atomic number of noble gas. [a]\[{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\] \[\text{EAN}=26+2\times 6-2\] \[=36\] 36 is atomic number of Ar (noble gas). So this complex follows EAN rule. [b]\[{{[Ag{{(CN)}_{2}}]}^{-}}\] \[\text{EAN}=47+2\times 2-1\] \[=50\] \[\ \because \]50 is not atomic number of any noble gas. \[\therefore \]it does not follow EAN rule. [c]\[{{[PtC{{l}_{6}}]}^{2-}}\] \[\text{EAN}=78+2\times 6-4\] \[=86\] 86 is atomic number of noble gas Rn. So it follows EAN rule.
