Question

Team JKExamLibrary · Accepted Answer

In [Ni(CN)4]2-, Ni is in the +2 oxidation state (d8 configuration). CN- is a strong field ligand, causing the pairing of d-electrons. This leaves one empty d-orbital, leading to dsp2 hybridization. The geometry is square planar. Since all electrons are paired, the complex is diamagnetic.
