With the help of Valence bond theory account for hybridisation, geometry and magnetic property of [Ni(CN)4]2 complex ion [Z for Ni=28].

Open in App
Solution

Ni2+ ion with outer electronic configuration 3d8 undergoes dsp2 hybridisation which results in square planar geometry. Since all electrons are paired, the complex is diamagnetic.
