Detailed Solution

  • The oxidation state of Fe in the brown ring complex is +1 and the electronic configuration thus becomes 3d64s1.
  •  Then the weak field ligand water and strong field ligand attack the metal ion and change the configuration to 3d74s0 and therefore the complex is left with 3 unpaired electrons. 
  • Also, since the ligands donate electrons in the vacant 4s,4p,4d orbitals, therefore, the hybridization is sp3d2.
