Solution

 

Cr(CN)63- ion, oxidation state of Cr is +3 and its valence shell electronic configuration is 3d3. There are 3 unpaired electrons in 3d orbital.  

(A). Cr(CN)63-

No. of unpaired electrons =3

 

FeH2O62+ ion, oxidation state of Fe is +2 and its valence shell electronic configuration is 3d6. There are 4 unpaired electrons in 3d orbital.  So, you can say the hybridisation here would be sp3d2.

(B). FeH2O62+

No. of unpaired electrons =4

CoNH363+ in this oxidation state of central metal atom is +3 and it has no unpaired electrons.
(C). CoNH363+

No. of unpaired electrons =0

NiNH362+ the oxidation state of Ni is Ni2+ and it has two unpaired electrons.
(D) NiNH362+

No. of unpaired electrons =2
So the correct option among the given is A.
