Question

$NiC{l}_2+KCN\left(excess\right)\to A\left(cyanocomplex\right)$
$NiC{l}_2+conc.HCl\left(excess\right)\to B\left(Chlorocomplex\right)$
The hybridisation of A and B are:

• A. $ds{p}^2,s{p}^3$
• B. $s{p}^3,s{p}^3$
• C. $ds{p}^2,ds{p}^2$
• D. $s{p}^3{d}^2,d^{2}s{p}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $ds{p}^2,s{p}^3$

$K_2\left[Ni\right(CN{)}_4]:ds{p}^2-hybridisation$
$K_2\left[NiC{l}_4\right]:s{p}^3-hybridisation$
