Question
Write the hybridization type and magnetic behaviour of the complex [Ni(CN)4]2−. (Atomic number of Ni = 28)
Advertisements
Solution
Cyanide, CN− being a strong-field ligand causes the pairing up of valence electrons in the Ni2+ ion against the Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity. This results in the formation of an inner orbital complex, [Ni(CN)4]2− having diamagnetic character and dsp2 hybridisation.

Magnetic moment of \[\ce{[MnCl4]^{2-}}\] is 5.92 BM. Explain giving reason.
Assertion: \[\ce{[Fe(CN)6]^{3-}}\] ion shows magnetic moment corresponding to two unpaired electrons.
Reason: Because it has d2sp3 type hybridisation.
The correct order of magnetic moment (spin only value in B.m.) is:
