Options
- AA = R B = S C = Q D = P
- BA = S B = R C = P D = Q
- CA = Q B = P C = S D = R
- DA = S B = P C = R D = Q
Correct answer
A. A = R B = S C = Q D = P
Step-by-step solution
For Ni(CO)₄ , the oxidation state of Ni is 0. The electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d^8 4s^2 . Since CO is a strong field ligand, it causes pairing of electrons, leading to sp^3 hybridization. All electrons are paired, so = 0 . This matches R. For [Ni(CN)₄]²⁻ , the oxidation state of Ni is +2. The electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d^8 . CN ^- is a strong field ligand, causing pairing of electrons in the 3d orbitals, resulting in dsp^2 hybridization. All electrons are paired, so = 0 . This matches S. For [Ni(Cl)₄]²⁻
