Options

  1. A[Ni(Cl)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{Cl})_4\right]^{2-}
  2. B[Co(C2O4)3]3\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3\right]^3
  3. C[Ni(CN)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}
  4. D[Ni(CO)4]\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]

Correct answer

D. [Ni(CO)4]\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]

Step-by-step solution

(a) Ni in [Ni(Cl)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{Cl})_4\right]^{2-} exist as Ni2+\mathrm{Ni}^{2+} ion. Cl is a weak field ligand (high spin). It will not cause pairing of electrons. Hence, configuration of [Ni(Cl)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{Cl})_4\right]^{2-} is Identify, from the following, the diamagnetic, tetrahedral complex Tetrahedral with two unpaired electrons (i.e., paramagnetic) and has sp3s p^3 hybridisation. (b) In [Co(C2O4)3]3−,(C2O4)32−\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3\right]^{3-},\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3^{2-} is a bidentate ligand thus, give octahedral structure. (c) In [Ni(CN)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}, Ni exist as Ni2+\mathrm{Ni}^{2+} ion. CN−\mathrm{CN}^{-} is a strong field ligand (low spin). Causes pairing of electrons of 3d3 d orbital.Identify, from the following, the diamagnetic, tetrahedral complex Hence, the structure of is square planar and it is diamagnetic. (d) In [Ni(CO)4]\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right], Ni has zero oxidation state. i.e.,Identify, from the following, the diamagnetic, tetrahedral complex CO is a strong field ligand causes rearrangement and pairing of electrons of 3d3 d and 4s4 s orbital.Identify, from the following, the diamagnetic, tetrahedral complex Structure of Ni(CO4)\mathrm{Ni} \left(\mathrm{CO}_4\right) is tetrahedral with sp3s p³ hybridisation and it is diamagnetic. Hence, (4) is the correct answer.$$
