r u sure that the book is correct
it shld be +3 instead of +2 in [Fe(NH3)6]^+2
acc to me the one with oxidation number 2 will have co ordination number 4
and the one with 3 oxidaton number will have co ordination number 6
so fe with oxidation number 2 will not exhibit [Fe(NH3)6]^+2 as the co ordination number here is 6
so the possibile formula is [Fe(NH3)4]^+2 OR [Fe(NH3)6]^+3
so if u are taking [Fe(NH3)6]^+3 ------- config is -------- 3d6 , 4s2
now remove 3 e
then u will get ------------ 3d5 -------- will not pair up --------------- so u will get sp3d2 ---- dezired answer
is what i think
they must by mistake printed +2 instead of +3
