As we learned

Paramagnetism -

The complex in which central atom has unpaired electrons are known as Paramagnetic Compounds.

- wherein

Ex.[Mn(CN)6]3-

 

 2Cl^{-}   ions are ionizable

2Cl^{-}+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2AgCl+2NO_{3}^{-}

 


Option 1)

[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]Cl_2\;

Option 2)

\; \; \; [Co(NH_3)_3Cl_3].2NH_3\; \;

Option 3)

\; [Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Cl.NH_3\; \;

Option 4)

\; [Co(NH_3)_4Cl]Cl_2.NH
