Geometry and magnetic properties of [Fe (H2O)6]2+ion

What is the geometry and magnetic properties of [Fe (H2O)6]2+ ion?

According to valence bond theory, there are two types of octahedral complexes are possible, namely, inner orbital complexes and outer orbital complexes.

When a transition or inner transition metals with a specific oxidation state forms octahedral complexes, then some of complexes are inner orbital and some of complexes are outer orbital.
