Answer #1

The one with lone pair or electron rich group will be the ligand. Here the metal ion which is electron deficient Ag. The ligands are Cl, NH3.

The electronic configuration of Fe is

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^6

The 3d comes after 4s because the energy of 4s < 3d.

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^5

The electron is taken from the 4s only eventhough they are lesser in energy than 3d. The outer most shell is still 4s. Thus the electrons will be first taken from 4s and then it goes to 3d.
