Answer:
Explanation:
Cr is in the +3 oxidation state i.e., d3 configuration. Also, NH3 is a weak field that does not cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital. Therefore, it undergoes d2sp3 hybridization and the electrons in the 3d orbitals remain unpaired. Hence, it is paramagnetic in nature.
