Pick out the correct statement with respect to [Mn(CN)6]3.
- AIt is sp3d2 hybridised and tetrahedral.
- BIt is d2sp3 hybridised and octahedral.
- CIt is dsp2 hybridised and square planar.
- DIt is sp3d2 hybridised and octahedral.

Correct answer: B
25Mn = [Ar] 3d54s2
Mn+3
= [Ar] 3d4
CN– is a strong field ligand thus, it causes pairing of electrons in 3d-orbital.

As, coordination number of Mn = 6, so it will form an octahedral complex.
