Hello, Miss. In the second last reaction of Fe (II) with NH3, if the NH3 is present in excess, the Fe complex can have a ligand exchange, right? Also, I really appreciate your efforts in the making of these fantastic videos
Hi. For the complexes of the transition metal ions "Mn2+", "Fe2+" and "Fe3+" there will be no reaction with excess NH3 or OH-. Therefore, when excess NH3 is added Fe (II) complex [Fe(H2O)4(OH)2], ligand exchange does not take place. In fact, the complex of Mn2+, Fe2+ and Fe3+ are the only complexes on which "excess" NH3 will not cause ligand exchange.
I think this might be missed in the last video:
Scandium and Zinc are d block elements but they are not transition metals
no she mentioned
miss shouldn't it be triaquatrihydroxoiron (III) complex since the oxidation number is 3? Why do we put 2 in the brackets?
And why is it iron and not ferrate?

@@TahaAk6 Ahhh, got it. That was a great explanation, thanksss! :D
