हिन्दीPick out the CORRECT statement with respect to \( [\text{Mn(CN)}_6]^{3-} \).
Correct answer · Option 2
It is \( \text{d}^2\text{sp}^3 \) hybridized and octahedral.
Explanation
In \( [\text{Mn(CN)}_6]^{3-} \), \( \text{Mn}^{3+} \) has \( \text{d}^4 \) configuration. Since \( \text{CN}^- \) is a strong field ligand, pairing occurs, leaving two inner d-orbitals vacant, leading to \( \text{d}^2\text{sp}^3 \) hybridization and octahedral geometry.
