272. How would you account for the fact that both Ni(CO)4 and (NiCl4)2– have a tetrahedral geometry? (Atomic number of Ni = 28). Which one has a higher magnetic moment?


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.



 in NiCl42-, there is Ni2+ ion, However, in presence of weak field Cl- ligands, no pairing of d-electrons occurs. Therefore, Ni2+ undergoes sp3 hybridization to make bonds with Cl- ligands in tetrahedral geometry. As there are unpaired electrons in the d-orbitals, NiCl42- is paramagnetic




Since (NiCl4)2– is paramagnetic thus it have more magnetic moment.
