A coordination compound shows $d^2sp^3$ hybridisation. Identify the nature of ligand as weak or strong. What will be the geometry of the compound?
Answer
Answer
The ligand is a strong field ligand: it pairs up the electrons of the metal ion, leaving two inner $d$ orbitals vacant for $d^2sp^3$ (inner orbital complex).
The geometry is octahedral.
