Problem

Assertion : Transition metal ion forming octahedral complexes undergo sp3d2sp^3d^2 or d2sp3d^2sp^3 hybridisation. Reason : Strong field ligands force the unpaired electrons of central metal ion to pair up causing d2sp3d^2sp^3 hybridisation whereas weak field ligands do not affect electronic configuration of the metal ion undergoes in sp3d2sp^3d^2 hybridisation.
