Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To determine the magnetic nature of the given complexes, we analyze the oxidation state, electronic configuration, and the nature of the ligands for each central metal atom/ion: 1. \([\text{MnBr}_4]^{2-}\): Mn\(^{2+}\) has a \(3d^5\) configuration. Br\(^-\) is a weak field…
