Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(t_{2 g}{ }^6 e_g^0 ; t_{2 g}{ }^4 e_g^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(\left[\mathrm{Ru}(\mathrm{en})_3\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2\), the oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Ru}\) is \(+2\). The atomic number of \(\mathrm{Ru}\) is \(44\), so its electronic configuration is \([\mathrm{Kr}] 4d^7 5s^1\). For \(\mathrm{Ru}^{2+}\), the configuration is…
