Which one of the following is square planar in structure and has diamagnetic property?

  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^2\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-}\) have \(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\)as strong field ligand which helps in pairing of electron thus 2 unpaired electrons of nickel are paired up due to which the coordinated ion is diamagnetic with \(d s p^2\) hybridisation and square planar…
