Nickel (Z=28) combines with a uninegative monodentate ligand to form a diamagnetic complex NiL 4 2 . The hybridisation involved and the number of unpaired electrons present in the complex are respectively:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

28 Ni has +2 oxidation state and since the complex is Diamagnetic, all electrons are paired in inner 3d, orbital to provide the electronic configuration as under:



L might have been a strong field like CN .Hybridisation is dsp 2 .Number of unpaired electrons = 0
