Question

Which is true in the case of `[Ni(CO)_4]` complex?
A. (a) All are correct
B. (b) Tetrahedral shape of the molecule
C. (c) Hybridization of `Ni` is `sp^3`
D. (d) Diamagnetic

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
The electronic configuartion of `Ni` in `[Ni(CN)_4]^(2-)`, `[Ni(Cl)_4]^(2-)` and `[Ni(CO)_4]` are:
`Ni^(2+)` in `[Ni(CN)_4]^(2-)`:
