Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The complex tris(ethane-1, 2-diamine)nickel(II) chloride has formula [Ni(en)3]Cl2. All the ligands in this complex are same. Hence it is a homoleptic complex. Nickel (II) ion in this complex undergoes sp3d2 hybridization to form outer orbital tetrahedral complex.
