21. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

Valence Bond Theory (VBT) Accordingto this theory, the metal atom or ion under the influence of
ligands can use its (n-1)d, ns, np or ns, np, nd orbitals for hybridisation to yield a set of equivalent
orbitals of definite geometry such as octahedral, tetrahedral, square planar, the geometry of a complex
is predicted from the knowledge of its magnetic behaviour on the basis of the valence bond theory.
The magnetic moment of coordination compounds can be measured by magnetic susceptibility
experiments. The results can be used to obtain information about the number of unpaired electrons
