In which of the following pair of complexes, the experimental magnetic moment and the geometric shapes are same?
Options
- AK MnO 4 and K 2 NiCl 4
- BK 2 Ni ( CN ) 4 and K 4 Ni ( CN ) 4
- CK 2 Ni ( CN ) 4 and Ni NH 3 2 Cl 2
- DK 3 Fe ( CN ) 6 and K 4 Fe ( CN ) 6
Correct answer
C. K 2 Ni ( CN ) 4 and Ni NH 3 2 Cl 2
Step-by-step solution
K 2 Ni ( CN ) 4 ⇒ Ni + 2 ⇒ 3 d 8 4 s 0 With cyanide, Ni + 2 form square planar and diamagnetic complex. K 2 Ni NH 3 2 Cl 2 → Diamagnetic and square planar complex.
