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