CN - is strong field ligand. C 2 O 4 2 - is chelating ligand. Mn 3 + has d 4 configuration. Fe 3 + has d 5 configuration. Co 3 + has d 6 configuration. &#8658; All will have larger splitting values hence, they undergo d 2 sp 3 hybridisation. MnCl 6 3 - FeF 6 3 - d 4 configuration, Cl - d 5 configuration, F -
