  4. D \(K _3\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Na _2{ }\left[ CdCl _4\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxidation state of Cd in \(Na_2[CdCl_4]\): \(2(+1) + x + 4(-1) = 0 \implies x = +2\) \(Cd^{2+}\) electron configuration: \([Kr] 4d^{10}\) All electrons are paired. \(Na_2[CdCl_4]\) is diamagnetic.
