(i) Oxidation number of iron.
(ii) Hybrid orbitals and shape of the complex.
(iii) Magnetic behaviour of the complex.
(iv) Number of its geometrical isomers.
(v) whether there may be optical isomer also.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Given complex is `[Fw(en)_2Cl_2]Cl`
`x+(0) +2(-1)+(-1)=0`
`rArr x-3=0 :. X=3`
oxidation number of Fe = 3
(ii) Hybridisation `: d^2sp^3`
Shape of complex : octehedral
(iii) paramagnetic
(iv) two
(v) Yes
