Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]\) diamagnetic, \(\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}\) paramagnetic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right] \rightarrow\) diamagnetic, \(\mathrm{sp}^3\) hybridisation, number of unpaired electrons \(=0\) \(\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-}, \rightarrow\) paramagnetic, \(\mathrm{sp}^3\) hybridisation, number of unpaired electrons \(=2\)
