Question

Which of the following complexes is square planar and diamagnetic? (A) [NiCl4]2- (B) [Ni(CN)4]2- (C) [Cr(NH3)6]3+ (D) [CuCl4]2-

ln Ni ( CN )4, Ni is in dsp 2 hybridised and the shape is square planar. The square planar geometry results in diamagnetic magnetism as all the electrons are paired resulting in zero spin.

Q. Which of the following complexes is square planar and diamagnetic?

$[N i C l_{4}]^{2 -}$

$[N i (CN)_{4}]^{2 -}$

$[C r (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +}$

$[C u C l_{4}]^{2 -}$

ln $N i (CN)_{4}, N i$ is in $d s p^{2}$ hybridised and the shape is square planar. The square planar geometry results in diamagnetic magnetism as all the electrons are paired resulting in zero spin.
