Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Sc ^{+3}\) 18 \(Cr ^{+2}\) 22 \(Mn ^{+3}\) 22 \(Co ^{+3}\) 24 \(Fe ^{+3}\) 23 \(Cr ^{2+}\) and \(Mn ^{3+}\) are isoelectronic \(n =2\) Complex is : \(\left[ Co ( en )_2 NH _3 Cl \right] Cl _2\) \(\Rightarrow Co ^{3+} \quad 3 d^6 \quad t _{2 g}^{2,2,2} \quad e _{ g }^{0,0}\)
