Vedclass · Answer

(C) $1$. The central metal ion is $Ni^{2+}$. The atomic number of $Ni$ is $28$,so its electronic configuration is $[Ar] 3d^8 4s^2$.$2$. In $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$,the oxidation state of $Ni$ is $+2$,so the configuration of $Ni^{2+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^8$.$3$. $Cl^-$ is a weak field ligand,so it does not cause pairing of electrons in the $3d$ orbitals.$4$. The $Ni^{2+}$ ion undergoes $sp^3$ hybridization using one $4s$ and three $4p$ orbitals.$5$. This results in a tetrahedral geometry.$6$. Since there are two unpaired electrons in the $3d$ orbitals,the complex is paramagnetic.

What type of geometry and magnetic nature is present in the complex $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$?
