Using valance bond theory, explain the type of hybridisation of the following given below:
$[M n (C N)_{6}]^{3 -}, [C o (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +}, [C r (H_{2} O)_{6}]^{3 +}, [F e C l_{6}]^{4 -}$

Open in App

Solution

(i) $[M n (C N)_{6}]^{3 -}$
(Refer to Image 1)
[ $C N^{-}$ is a strong ligand causing pairing of $d . e^{-}$ ]
Hybridisation:- $d^{2} s p^{3}$
Magnetic behaviour:- Paramagnetic

(ii) $[C r (H_{2} O)_{6}]^{3 +}$
(Refer to Image 2)
Hybridization:- $d^{2} s p^{3}$
Magnetic behaviour:- Paramagnetic

(iii) $[C o (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +}$
(Refer to Image 3)
Hybridization:- $d^{2} s p^{3}$
Magnetic behaviour:- Diamagnetic

(iv) $[F e C l_{6}]^{- 4}$
(Refer to Image 4)
[Since $C l^{-}$ is a weak ligand therefore will not cause pairing of inner $d . e^{-}$ ]
Hybridization:- $s p^{3} d^{2}$
Magnetic behaviour:- Paramagnetic
