  2. B \(\mathrm{Na}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]\) - Diamagnetic
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]\) - Paramagnetic
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na}_2\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]\) - Paramagnetic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]\) - Paramagnetic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Ni}\) in \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{Co})_4\right]\) is in 0 oxidation state and \(\mathrm{Co}\) is a strong field ligand. Since there are no unpaired electrons, the complex is diamagnetic.
