Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Chemical Formula

The given chemical formula is \(\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{ClO}_4\right)_4\).

Step 2: Determine the Number of Chlorine Atoms per Perchlorate Ion

Each \(\mathrm{ClO}_4\) (perchlorate) ion contains 1 chlorine atom.

Step 3: Calculate the Total Number of Chlorine Atoms

Since there are 4 perchlorate ions in the formula unit, the total number of chlorine atoms is: \[ 4 \times 1 = 4 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{4}\)
