Hybridisation

Explanation:

According to VBT, half-filled atomic orbitals overlap with each other to give completely filled orbitals with pair of electrons; this process is known as overlapping of orbitals.

Thus VBT shows how the pairing of unpaired electron takes place simply depicts the formation of covalent bonds.

Now, for hybridisation of [Ti(H2O)6]3+

oxidation state of Ti in complex (x)=

= x + 0(6) = 3

= x = +3

thus oxidation state is +3

now electronic configuration of

Ti atom = [Ar] 3d^{2}  4s^{2}

Ti^{3+} ion = [Ar] 3d^{1}  4s^{0}

Now, the distribution of electrons in orbitals is shown below,

from fig, we infer that H2O will form 6 bonds, and for bond formation, it will use 1s 3p and 2d orbitals = 6 orbitals = d²sp^{3}

thus, the resulting complex will have sp^{3}d² hybridisation and octahedral geometry and paramagnetic behaviour due to the presence of 1 unpaired electron.
