Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

Magnetic properties of [Ni(CN4)]2–:

  1. In [Ni(CN4)]2– ion, Ni2+ undergoes dsp2 hybridization.
  2. Four vacant dsp2 hybrid orbitals of Ni2+ overlap with four orbitals of CN ions to form Ni–CN coordinate bonds.
    Configuration after the complex formation becomes:
  3. The complex has no unpaired electrons and hence, diamagnetic.
