Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{K}_{4}\left[\mathrm{MnF}_{6}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Among the given species \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) and \(\mathrm{F}\) are weak field ligands and do not cause pairing of electrons in the central metal atom. As CN is a strong field ligand, it causes pairing of electrons in the central metal atom. Now, Oxidation state of :…
