Question

The hybridisation and magnetic behaviour of  are:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Strong field ligands force electron pairing in lower energy orbitals, abandoning outer orbitals and utilizing inner  orbitals.

Step 1: Analyze Metal and Ligand
Complex: .
 configuration: .
 is a strong field ligand, causing pairing of electrons.

Step 2: Distribute and assign
All 6 electrons pair up in  (). Unpaired electrons = 0 (Diamagnetic).
Two inner  orbitals remain empty for bonding.
Hybridisation:  (inner orbital complex).
