What is the hybridisation of metal ion in \(\left[ Ni ( CO )_4\right]\) compound?
- A \(s p^3\)
- B \(d s p^2\)
- C \(s p d^2\)
- D \(s p^2 d\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(s p^3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(Ni\) oxidation state \(= 0\) \(Ni^{0}\) electronic configuration: \([Ar] 3d^8 4s^2\) \(CO\) is a strong field ligand, causing pairing of electrons. \(4s\) electrons shift to \(3d\) orbitals, making it \(3d^{10}\). Available orbitals for bonding with 4 CO ligands: one \(4s\)…

- Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
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.
