  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right]^{2+}\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_4(\mathrm{en})\right]^{2+}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In complex \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}\) the strong ligand is absent. Thus, electrons do not go for pairing and two unpaired \(e^{-}\)are present in \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\) complex. Hence, is a coloured complex.
