The hybridization and magnetic nature of  and , respectively are:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Determine the oxidation states and use Valence Bond Theory (VBT) to find hybridisation, given that  is a strong field ligand.

Step 1: Analyze 
-  ().  is a strong field ligand  low-spin complex.
- Electrons pair up: .
- Unpaired electrons = 1  Paramagnetic.
- Uses inner 3d orbitals:  hybridisation.

Step 2: Analyze 
-  ().  is a strong field ligand  low-spin complex.
- Electrons pair up: .
- Unpaired electrons = 1  Paramagnetic.
- Uses inner 3d orbitals:  hybridisation.

Step 3: Conc
