(A) Paramagnetic
(B) Number of unpaired electrons are five
(C) \(d ^2 sp ^3\) hybridisation
(D) \(H _2 O\) is a strong field ligand
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (B) and (C) only
  2. B (A) and (B) only
  3. C (A), (B) and (D) only
  4. D (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (B) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Fe\) oxidation state: \(x + 6(0) = +3 \implies x = +3\) \(Fe^{3+}\) configuration: \([Ar] 3d^5\) \(H_2O\) is a weak field ligand \(\implies\) high spin complex. Number of unpaired electrons: 5. (A) Paramagnetic: Correct (due to 5 unpaired electrons). (B) Number of unpaired…
