Hybridisation in d-block elements

[konichiwa2x]

Hi, can someone please explain how to find the hybridisation when elements of the d-block are involved? For, example.. What is the hybridisation undergone by Fe in Fe(CN)2??

when you get into the bonding and hybridization of d-block elements you are getting into crystal field theory, which is a major component of undergraduate inorganic chemistry. The more advanced version of crystal field theory (which takes into account molecular orbital theory) is ligand field theory.

Actually it would have more to do with the VSEPR theory, you need to apply the standard protocols that are outlined in a standard chemistry text. If you need help with the specifics (specific questions), you can ask them individually here.

Well, I got this doubt when I was trying to determine the hybridisation taking place in certain species. Can you help me out with this one? Fe(CN)2?

Thanks for your time.
