The hybridisation of metals involved in the following complexes, respectively are \(\left[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-},\left[\mathrm{CoF}_6\right]^{3-}\)

  1. A \(s p^3 d^2, s p^3 d^2\)
  2. B \(s p^3 d^2, d^2 s p^3\)
  3. C \(d^2 s p^3, d^2 s p^3\)
  4. D \(d^2 s p^3, s p^3 d^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(d^2 s p^3, s p^3 d^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\left[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-}, \mathrm{Mn}\) is in +3 oxidation state. As \(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\)is a strong field ligand, it causes pairing of two \(3 d\) electrons, thereby making two \(d\)-orbitals vacant, namely \(d_{x^2-y^2}\) and \(d_{z^2}\). These two…
