The type of hybridization and the magnetic property of [ MnCl ₆ ]³⁻ are :
Options
- Ad^2 s p^3 , paramagnetic with four unpaired electrons
- Bsp ^3 ~d ^2 , paramagnetic with four unpaired electrons
- Cd ^2 sp ^3 , paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons
- Dsp ^3 ~d ^2 , paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons
Correct answer
B. sp ^3 ~d ^2 , paramagnetic with four unpaired electrons
Step-by-step solution
aligned & [ MnCl ₆ ]³⁻ contains Mn ⁺³ & Mn ⁺³:-[ Ar ] 3 ~d ^4 & Ligand Cl ⁻( WFL ) aligned Hybridisation = sp ^3 ~d ^2 4 unpaired electrons
