Chapter 21, Problem 21.132MP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonding in ${[{\text{Mn(CN)}}_6]}^{3-}$ complex is to be described by using the crystal filed theory and valance bond theory. It is also to be determined that model is helpful to determine the unpaired electrons along with the number of electrons.

Concept introduction:

The valance bond theory is defined as the theory which helps to determine the bonding between the two atoms.

The crystal field theory is used to describe the degeneracy of electron orbital states.
