Question

Addition of excess aqueous ammonia to a pink coloured aqueous solution of MCl2.H2O(x) and NH4Cl gives an octahedral complex Y in the presence of air. In aqueous solution, complex Y behaves as 1:3 electrolyte. The reaction of X with excess HCl at room temperature results in the formation of a blue coloured complex Z. The calculated spin only magnetic moment of X and Z is 3.87 B.M., whereas it is zero for complex Y.
Among the following options, which statemet(s) is (are) correct?


A

The hybridization of the central metal ion in Y is d2sp3
