The correct answer is: Tetraaquadibromido chromium (III) bromide dihydrate
This compound can be identified and named as follows
Cr(H2O)6Brn
As (μcomplex)spin= 3.8 B.M. =n(n+2)
On solving n=3
Hence the complex is [Cr(H2O)6]Br3
oxidation number of Cr =+3.
As compound also shows geometrical isomerism so it will be [Cr(H2O)4Br2]Br.2H2O
It is named as Tetraaquadibromido chromium (III) bromide dihydrate
