Questions  

Indicate the hybridization and Magnetic nature of Ni(CO)4

a
dsp2, Diamagnetic
b
sp3, Paramagnetic
c
sp3, Diamgnetic
d
dsp2 Paramagnetic

detailed solution

Correct option is B


Ni is in zero oxidation state inNi(CO)4 .

  • So the electronic configuration of Ni is 3d84s2.
  • As CO is a strong ligand, so all the electrons  are paired in the d orbital as shown in the given diagram


so it is paramagnetic
