(2010)
(a) $Ni(CO) _4$
(b) $\left[NiCl _4\right]^{2-}$
(c) $Ni\left(PPh _3\right) _4$
(d) $\left[Ni(CN) _4\right]^{2-}$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 35. (b)
Solution:
- Magnetic moment $=2.83$ $ BM$ indicates that there is two unpaired electrons.
$ u=\sqrt{n(n+2)}$ $ BM=\sqrt{8}$ $ BM=2.82 $ $BM $
$In\left[NiCl _4\right]^{2-}$, $Ni$ has $d^{8}$ configuration and $Cl^{-}$is a weak ligand :
BETA
