Solution
The correct options are AOxidationstateofFeis+1andNOexistsasNO+ BThecomplexionisinoctahedralgeometryasattainedbysp3d2hybridization. C The complex is paramagnetic and has three unpaired electrons \: due to transfer of electron from NO to Fe2+. Numberofunpairedelectrons=3;So,μ=√3(2+3)=3.87B.M.
