What do you understand by crystal field splitting? Draw figure to show splitting of degenerate d-orbitals in an octahedral crystal field.
What are the main postulates of Werner’s theory? Write the correct formula and IUPAC name of the coordination compound for CrCl3.6H2O, one mole of which give two moles of AgCl with AgNO3,.
Ni(CO)4 = Ni + 4CO
The valence shell electronic configuration of ground state Ni atom is 3d8 4s2.
All of these 10 electrons are pushed into 3d orbitals and get paired up when strong field CO ligands approach Ni atom. The empty 4s and three 4p orbitals undergo sp3 hybridization and form bonds with CO ligands to give Ni(CO)4. Thus Ni(CO)4 is diamagnetic.
thus according to VBT sp3 hybridization have tetrahedral geometry.
In [Ni(CN)4]2-, there is Ni2+ ion for which the electronic configuration in the valence shell is 3d8 4s0.
In presence of strong field CN- ions, all the electrons are paired up. The empty 4d, 3s and two 4p orbitals undergo dsp2 hybridization to make bonds with CN- ligands in square planar geometry. Thus [Ni(CN)4]2- is diamagnetic.
