Explain hybridisation, geometry and magnetic property of $[N i (C N)_{4}]^{2 -}$ ion using Valence Bond Theory(VBT). [Atomic number of Ni is $28$ ].

Open in App

Solution

Ni atom has electronic configuration $[A r] 3 d^{8} 4 s^{2}$ . $N i^{2 +}$ ion has electronic configuration $[A r] 3 d^{8} 4 s^{0}$ . Hybridisation involved is $d s p^{2}$ . Geometrical shape is square planar
Magnetic property is diamagnetic as all electrons are paired.
