1) [FeCl4]-
 

Question Image

[FeCl4]- is sp3 hybridised and has tetrahedral geometry with 5 unpaired electrons

2) [Co(en)(NH3)2Cl2]+ has three geometrical isomers.

Question Image

3) [FeCl4]-

 

Question Image

Number of unpaired electrons (n) = 5 

Spin only magnetic moment  =n(n+2) B.M.  

                                                 =5.92B.M

 

Co(en)NH32Cl2+

Question Image

Number of unpaired electrons (n) = 0 

Spin only magnetic moment =n(n+2) B.M. 

                                              = 0

4) Co(en)NH32Cl2+

Question Image

[Co(en)(NH3)2Cl2]+ is d2 sp3 hybridised and has octahedral geometry with 0 unpaired electron
