What is the oxidation state of central metal ion in $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}$ complex?

What is the oxidation state of central metal ion in $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}$ complex?
  1. +2
  2. -6
  3. -4
  4. +3

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{In}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^4 \\ & \mathrm{x}-6=-4 \\ & \mathrm{x}=6-4=+2 \end{aligned}$ $\therefore \quad$ Oxidation number of Fe is +2 .
