.
Select INCORRECT combination is :
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Central Atom & Ligand: In K₂[Ni(CN)₄] (c), the central metal ion is Ni²⁺ ( configuration), and CN⁻ is a strong-field ligand.
Hybridization: The strong field ligand forces electron pairing, resulting in a square-planar, low-spin inner-orbital complex with dsp² hybridization.
Isomerism: Being a square-planar complex of the type , it does not exhibit geometrical or optical isomerism, meaning the total possible isomers is not 8 (r).
Conclusion: Since combination (c)-(i)-(r) contains an incorrect number of isomers, option (D) is the correct choice.
