Detailed Solution

  • When two atomic orbitals join to generate a hybrid orbital in a molecule, the energy of the individual atoms' orbitals is redistributed to give orbitals of equivalent energy.
  • In the third orbital of [Fe(H2O)6]2+, there are 4 unpaired electrons. The hybridization and unpaired electrons in it are sp3d2 and 4 respectively.
