Question

Pick out the correct statement with respect [Mn(CN)₆]³⁻.

विकल्प

• It is sp³d² hybridised and octahedral.

• It is sp³d² hybridised and tetrahedral.

• It is d²sp³ hybridised and octahedral.

• It is dsp² hybridised and square planar.

Answer 1

It is d²sp³ hybridised and octahedral.

Explanation:

In [Mn(CN)₆]³⁻, Mn is in +3 state (d⁴).

With six ligands (CN⁻) surrounding the Mn ion, hybridization involves two d-orbitals, one s-orbital, and three p-orbitals.

Thus, hybridisation = d²sp³, giving an octahedral geometry.
