Question: Nickel (Z=28) combines with a uninegative monodentate ligand to form a diamagnetic complex $ {{[NiL_4]}^{2-}} $ . The hybridisation involved and the number of unpaired electrons present in the complex are respectively:
Options:
A) $ sp^{3} $ , two
B) $ dsp^{2} $ , zero
C) $ dsp^{2} $ , one
D) $ sp^{3} $ , zero
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ {{[NiL_4]}^{2-}} $ i.e, no.
of unpaired electron = 2 hybridization - $ sp^{3} $ .
