    Pick out the correct statement with respect \[{{[Mn{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{3-}}\]                         [NEET-2017]

    A) It is \[ds{{p}^{2}}\]hybridised and square planar

    B) It is \[s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}\]hybridised and octahedral

    C) It is \[s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}\] hybridised and tetrahedral

    D) It is\[{{d}^{2}}s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridised and octahedral

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d]        \[{{[Mn{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{3-}}\]
                \[Mn(III)=[Ar]3{{d}^{4}}\]
    \[C{{N}^{-}}\]being strong field ligand forces pairing of electrons
    This gives\[t_{2}^{4}e_{g}^{0}\]
    \[\therefore \]Mn(III) = [Ar]
    ∵ Coordination number of Mn = 6
    \[\therefore \]Structure = octahedral
                \[{{[Mn{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{3-}}=\]
