    Solution:

    A metal complex having composition.In this case, Cr(NH3)4Cl2Br has been isolated in two forms A and B. The form A reacts with AgNO3 to give a white precipitate readily soluble in dilute aqueous ammonia. This is a test for chloride ion. B gives a pale-yellow precipitate soluble in concentrated ammonia. This is a test for bromide ion.
    Ais[Cr(NH3)4ClBr]Cl.
    [Cr(NH3)4ClBr]Cl+AgNO3→AgClWhite↓+[Cr(NH3)4ClBr]+NO−3
    AgCl+2NH4OH→[Ag(NH3)2Cl]+2H2O
    B is [Cr(NH3)4CI2]Br.
    [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]Br+AgNO3→AgBrYellow↓+[Cr(NH3)4Cl2]+NO−3
    AgBr+2NH4OH→[Ag(NH3)2Br]+2H2O
    In both A and B :
    The oxidation number of Cr is +3.
    Atomic number = 24
    Cr=[Ar]3d54s1
    Cr3+=[Ar]3d34s0
    d2sp3-Hybridization (octahedral)
    There are three unpaired electrons, so the complex is paramagnetic.
