Vedclass · Answer

(B) In $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$,the oxidation state of nickel is $+2$.The valence shell electronic configuration of $Ni^{2+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^8$.Since $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand,the $3d$ electrons are paired prior to hybridization.This results in one vacant $3d$ orbital,one $4s$ orbital,and two $4p$ orbitals,which undergo $dsp^2$ hybridization to accommodate the four electron pairs donated by the four $CN^-$ ligands.
