The compound which have the same magnetic moment like that of $\mathrm{FeCl}_{2}$ is

The compound which have the same magnetic moment like that of $\mathrm{FeCl}_{2}$ is
  1. $\mathrm{CrCl}_{3}$
  2. $\mathrm{MnCl}_{2}$
  3. $\mathrm{CoCl}_{3}$
  4. $\mathrm{NiCl}_{2}$

Solution

In $\mathrm{FeCl}_{2}$ configuration is $3 \mathrm{d}^{6} 4 \mathrm{s}^{0}$ i.e.,

four unpaired electrons.
Only $\mathrm{CoCl}_{3}$ has a similar configuration $3 \mathrm{d}^{6} 4 \mathrm{s}^{0}$ and therefore four unpaired electrons. *
