The geometry and magnetic property of the complex \([Ni(CO)_4]\) is :
- A Square planar diamagnetic
- B Square planar, paramagnetic
- C Tetrahedral, diamagnetic
- D Tetrahedral, paramagnetic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Tetrahedral, diamagnetic
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Oxidation state of \(Ni\): \(0\) \(Ni(0)\) configuration: \([Ar]3d^8 4s^2\). Total valence electrons: \(10\). \(CO\) is strong field ligand \(\Rightarrow\) electrons pair up, leading to \(3d^{10}\). Hybridization: \(sp^3\) (using \(4s\) and \(4p\) orbitals). Geometry:…

- Osmotic pressure measurements are less accurate and difficult to carry out. Therefore, this method is not useful for measuring molecular weights. But it is used to find out molecular weights of polymers eg. plastics, proteins and starch having many monomer units. Knowing the value of osmotic pressure of a given solution, molecular weight of the solute can be calculated using Van't Hoff equation.

The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is highly polar. The positively charged carbon is readily attacked by electron-rich nucleophile and the negatively charged oxygen atom is attacked by an electro-deficient electrophile. Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reactions in the presence of acid or a base. The mechanism involves attack of a nucleophile on the electron deficient carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. A new bond is formed between the carbon and oxygen. Protonation of the anion furnished by the reaction medium yields a neutral addition product. The addition product is same whether the reaction is catalyzed by acid or a base. For example in the presence of base aldehydes and ketones react with hydrogen cyanide to form cyanohydrin.
During nucleophilic addition reaction the carbonyl carbon undergoes a change in hybridization from:CUET 2025 Easy - Complete the following analogy: \(S _{ N } 2\) : Inversion of configuration; \(S _{ N } 1\) :______________?CUET 2025 Medium
