Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $[Ni(CO)_4]$,the oxidation state of $Ni$ is $0$. The electronic configuration of $Ni$ $(Z=28)$ is $[Ar] 3d^8 4s^2$. Since $CO$ is a strong field ligand,it causes pairing of electrons,resulting in $3d^{10} 4s^0 4p^0$. Thus,the hybridization is $sp^3$.In $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$,the oxidation state of $Ni$ is $+2$. The electronic configuration of $Ni^{2+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^8$. $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand,forcing the two unpaired electrons in the $3d$ orbitals to pair up,creating one empty $3d$ orbital. This leads to $dsp^2$ hybridization.

Hybridization in $[Ni(CO)_4]$ and $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$ are respectively . . . . . . .
