Give reason for the statement. ‘[Ni(CN)4]2– is diamagnetic while [NiCl4]2– is paramagnetic in nature.’
- In [NiCl4]2–, no unpaired electrons are present while in [Ni(CN)4]2– two unpaired electrons are present.
- In [Ni(CN)4]2–, no unpaired electrons are present while in [NiCl4]2– two unpaired electrons are present.
- [NiCl4]2– shows dsp2 hybridisation hence it is paramagnetic.
- [Ni(CN)4]2– shows sp3 hybridisation hence it is diamagnetic.
Answer
(B) In [Ni(CN) 4 ] 2– , no unpaired electrons are present while in [NiCl 4 ] 2– two unpaired electrons are present.
