1.

Assertion: [Fe(EDTA)]^(-) complex is octahedral in shape. Reason: EDTA is a hexadentate ligand and undergoing sp^(3)d^(2) hybridisation.

Answer»

If assertion is true but the reason is FALSE
If assertion is false but reason is true
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the CORRECT explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Solution :EDTA is HEXADENTATE ligand. When it forms complex with a metal cation, the HYBRIDISATION of central atom will be `d^(2)sp^(3)`
