Given below are two statements:
Statement I : [Mn(CN)₆]³⁻, [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻ and [Co(C₂O₄)₃]³⁻ are d²sp³ hybridised
Statement II : [MnCl₄]²⁻ and [FeF₆]³⁻ are paramagnetic and have 4 and 5 unpaired electrons, respectively.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -

Statement I is correct but Statement II is false

    Correct Option - 1


    Detailed Solution:

    [Mn (CN)? ]³? → Mn³? i.e 3d? → t? g? , eg? (d²sp³), CN? is strong field ligand.
    [Fe (CN)? ]³? → Fe³? i.e 3d? → t? g? , eg? (d²sp³), CN? is strong field ligand.
    [Co (C? O? )? ]³? → Co³? i.e, 3d? → t? g? , eg? (d²sp³), C? O? ²? is strong field ligand.
    [MnCl? ]? → Mn³? = 3d? → t? g²¹¹¹, eg¹¹? (4 unpaired e? ), Cl? is weak field ligand.
    [FeF? ]³? → Fe³? = 3d? → t? g³¹¹, eg²¹¹ (5 unpaired e? ) F? is strong field ligand.
    ∴ S? and S? are true.
