A white precipitate was formed when \( \mathrm{BaCl_2} \) was added to water extract of an inorganic salt. Further, a gas ‘\( X \)’ with characteristic odour was released when the formed white precipitate was dissolved in dilute \( \mathrm{HCl} \). The anion present in the inorganic salt is:
The metal ion whose electronic configuration is not affected by the nature of the ligand and which gives a violet colour in non-luminous flame under hot condition in borax bead test is:
