Question
Which is true for [Ni(en)2]2+ ? (Atomic number of nickel is 28)
Options
A.Paramagnetism, dsp2, square planar, coordination number of Ni = 2
B.Diamagnetism, dsp2, square planar, coordination number of Ni = 4
C.Diamagnetism, sp3, tetrahedral, coordination number of Ni = 4
D.Paramagnetism, sp3, tetrahedral, coordination number of Ni = 4
Solution
The oxidation state of nickel is in complex = x + 4 (0) = +2 or x = +2.
Ethylenediamine is a strong field chelating ligand and so,
[Ni(en)2]2+
So, geometry is
