The geometry and magnetic behaviour of the complex [Ni(CO)4] are

  • Square planar geometry and diamagnetic

  • Tetrahedral geometry and diamagnetic

  • Tetrahedral geometry and paramagnetic

  • Square planar geometry and paramagnetic


B.

Tetrahedral geometry and diamagnetic

Ni(28) : [Ar]3d8 4s2
∵CO is a strong field ligand, so unpaired electrons get paired. Hence, the configuration would be.

For, four ‘CO’-ligands hybridisation would be sp3 and thus the complex would be diamagnetic and of tetrahedral geometry.

In [CO(H2O)6]2+, there are three unpaired electrons present. The μcalculated is 3.87 BM which is quite different from the μexperimental of 4.40 BM. This is because of

  • increase in number of unpaired electrons

  • some contribution of the orbital motion of the electron to the magnetic moment

  • change in orbital spin of the electron

  • d-d transition
