MCQ
Select the option with correct property -
  • A
    $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]$ and $\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}$ both diamagnetic
  • B
    $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]$ and $\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}$ both paramagnetic
  • C
    $\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}$ diamagnetic, $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]$ paramagnetic
  • $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]$ diamagnetic, $\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]$ diamagnetic, $\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}$
d
$\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right] \rightarrow$ diamagnetic, $\mathrm{sp}^3$ hybridisation, number of unpaired electrons $=0$

$\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}, \rightarrow$ paramagnetic, $\mathrm{sp}^3$ hybridisation, number of unpaired electrons $=2$
