Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(\mathrm{Ni(CO)_4}\), the oxidation state of Ni is 0. The electronic configuration is \([Ar] 3d^8 4s^2\). Since CO is a strong field ligand, it causes pairing of electrons, leading to \(sp^3\) hybridization. All electrons are paired, so \(\mu = 0\). This matches R. For…
