$[Ni(CO)_4]$ & $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) $1$. $[Ni(CO)_4]$: $Ni(0)$ is $3d^8 4s^2$. $CO$ is a strong field ligand,causing pairing. Hybridization is $sp^3$,geometry is tetrahedral,and it is diamagnetic $(n=0)$.$2$. $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$: $Ni(II)$ is $3d^8$. $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand. Hybridization is $dsp^2$,geometry is square planar,and it is diamagnetic $(n=0)$.$3$. Since both are diamagnetic but have different geometries (tetrahedral vs square planar),option $A$ is correct.

Which of the following pairs differ in geometry but resemble in magnetic behavior?
