Question

The type of hybridization and the magnetic property of  are:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Identify oxidation state, apply ligand field classification to determine inner/outer orbital hybridization, and count unpaired electrons to find the magnetic property.

Step 1: Oxidation state and d-count
For , Manganese is in the  oxidation state.
 has a  configuration.

Step 2: Spin state and Hybridization
Chloride () is a notably weak field ligand. It does not exert enough splitting force to pair the 4th electron ().
The complex will be high-spin: .
Because the 3d orbitals are part
