Which of the following statements is correct for [Mn(CN)₆]³⁻ according to valence bond theory?

A

d²sp³, inner orbital complex, paramagnetic, 2.82 B.M.

B

d²sp³, inner orbital complex, diamagnetic, zero magnetic moment.

C

d³sp², outer orbital complex, paramagnetic, 3.87 B.M.

D

dsp², outer orbital complex, diamagnetic, zero magnetic moment.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

[Mn(CN)₆]³⁻ forms an inner orbital complex with d²sp³ hybridization and is diamagnetic due to pairing of electrons.
