Nickel ( Z = 28 ) combines with a uninegative monodentate ligand to form a paramagnetic complex The number of unpaired electron(s) in the nickel and geometry of this complex ion are, respectively
one, tetrahedral
two, tetrahedral
one, square planar
two, square planar.
As we learned
Hybridisation -
sp3d2 - square bipyramidal or octahedral
d2sp3 - octahedral
sp3 - tetradedral
dsp2 - square planar
- wherein
sp3d2 - outer complex
d2sp3 - inner complex
sp3 -
dsp2 -
Electronic configuration of Ni2+ for this complex :
Sp3 hybridisation suggests tetrahedral geometry,
no. of unpaired electrons = 2
Option 1)
one, tetrahedral
Option 2)
two, tetrahedral
Option 3)
one, square planar
Option 4)
