Calculate the spin only magnetic moment of a \(Ni ^{2+}\) in \(\left[ Ni ( CN )_4\right]^{2-}\) (atomic number of Ni is 28 ).
- A 3.87 BM
- B 2.84 BM
- C \(0\)
- D 1.73 BM
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(0\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(Ni^{2+}\) electron configuration: \(3d^8\). \(CN^-\) is a strong-field ligand, forming a square planar complex. All electrons are paired. Number of unpaired electrons, \(n = 0\). Magnetic moment, \(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\) BM \(\mu = \sqrt{0(0+2)} = 0\) BM

CUET 2025 Hard - Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Second period elements of p-Block differs from the rest of their group members due to their small atomic size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. The elements from the second period like C, N, O have unique property of forming \(p \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds whereas other heavier elements of p-block form \(d \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds. This changes the properties of second period elements to great extent. Also the single bond strength of the p-block elements with their own atoms gets affected by their atomic size and presence of lone pairs.
Inert pair effect also affects the properties of the p-Block elements especially for those elements which are present from 4th period onward and this happens due to poor screening effect of inner (n-1)d subshell electrons.
