Step-by-step solution

d3→[t2g3,eg0],3d^{3} \rightarrow\left[t_{2 g}^{3}, e_{g}^{0}\right], 3 unpaired electrons d4(d^{4}( low spin )→[t2g4,eg0],2) \rightarrow\left[t_{2 g}^{4}, e_{g}^{0}\right], 2 unpaired electrons d5\mathrm{d}^{5} (high spin) →[t2 g3,eg2],5\rightarrow\left[\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}^{3}, \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}^{2}\right], 5 unpaired electrons d6d^{6} (high spin) →[t2g4,eg2],4\rightarrow\left[t_{2 g}^{4}, e_{g}^{2}\right], 4 unpaired electrons d7d^{7} (low spin) →[t2g6,eg1],1\rightarrow\left[t_{2 g}^{6}, e_{g}^{1}\right], 1 unpaired electrons
