Question
Mention the number of unpaired electrons and geometry of the following complex:
\[\ce{[Ni(Cl)4]^{2-}}\]
Advertisements
Solution
The complex \[\ce{[Ni(Cl)4]^{2-}}\] has oxidation state of \[\ce{Ni}\] is +2, valence shell electronic configuration of \[\ce{Ni^{2+}}\] is

The complex has two unpaired electrons; hence, it is paramagnetic. Complex is tetrahedral.
