Solution
All of these.
Explanation:
| Fe(26) | ![]() |
![]() |
| 3d | 4s | |
| Fe+2 | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
CN- is strong field ligand, it pair the electron and form a low spin complex.
| Co(27) | ![]() |
|
| 3d | 4s | |
| Co+3 | ![]() |
![]() |
| 3d | 4s |
`"NO"_2^-` is able to cause the pair pairing of electrons, so a low spin complex will form.
| Mn(25) | ![]() |
![]() |
| 3d | 4s | |
| Mn+3 | |

| 3d | 4s |
CN- strong field ligand, causes the pairing of electron.
