(i) In the coordination entity iron exists in + 2 oxidation state. Overall charge balance:
X + 6 (-1) = -4 X = + 2.
Its electronic configuration is: 3d6
CN- is strong field ligand so it causes pairing of the unpaired electron and undergoes hybridisation to form 6 d2sp3 hybrid orbitals to be filled by the six cyanide ions. It's geometry is octahedral with no unpaired electrons and hence is diamagnetic complex.
