Question
Write the hybridization and shape of the following complexe : [Ni(CN)4]2–
(Atomic number : Co = 27, Ni = 28)
Advertisements
Solution
The atomic number of Ni is 28 and its valence shell electronic configuration is 3d8 4s2.
Ni is in +2 oxidation state in the complex [Ni(CN)4]2–.

Hence, [Ni(CN)4]2– is dsp2 hybridised and it is square planar in shape.
