Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5.9 \mathrm{~BM},~ 1.732 \mathrm{~BM}~\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : \(\mathrm{Fe}^{+3}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^5 4 \mathrm{~s}^0\) \(\left[\mathrm{FeCl}_4\right]^{-}\) No pairing as \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)is weak field ligand, hence have five unpaired electron \((n=5)\).…
