Question
Which of the following is correct for the complex [NiBr2(PPh3)2] ?
Options
A.It is square planar with one unpaired electron
B.It is tetrahedral with two unpaired electrons
C.It is square planar and diamagnetic
D.It is tetrahedral with one unpaired electron.
Solution
Bulkier groups favour tetrahedral geometry i.e. sp3 hybridisation.
Thus Ni2+ -
so there are two unpaired electrons.
Thus Ni2+ -
so there are two unpaired electrons.Create a free account to view solution
