Explanation:

The[CrF6]3- complex contains a chromium ion with a +3 oxidation state. In this state, chromium has an electron configuration of 3d3, meaning there are three electrons in the d orbitals.

According to Crystal Field Theory for an octahedral complex, the d-orbitals split into two sets: t2g​ (lower energy) and eg​ (higher energy). Fluorine ligands are considered weak field ligands, and they cause a small energy gap between the t2g​ and eg​ orbitals.

A chromium ion with three d-electrons will fill the three t2g orbitals with one electron each to minimize repulsion, according to Hund's rule. As a result, all three d-electrons are unpaired.

Therefore, the [CrF6]3- complex has three unpaired electrons.
