Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6,+3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Element ' \(X\) ' is forming a complex of the type \(\left[X \mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_5\right]^{2+}\). Total number of ligands attached to \(X\) is 6 (one \(\mathrm{Cl}\) and five \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) ). \(\mathrm{Cl}\) is a unidentate ligand with…
