Which among the following statements about \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}\) is NOT true?

  1. A In this electron are paired prior to hybridization
  2. B Oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Ni}\) is +6
  3. C Ni undergoes dsp \({ }^2\) hybridization
  4. D It is a square planar complex
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Ni}\) is +6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Ni}^{2+}
\)
Oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Ni}\) is +2
- \(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\)is strong field ligand.
- Electrons are paired prior to hybridization.
\(
\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^8
\)
- \(\mathrm{dsp}^2\) hybridization and square planar complex.
