Rules to determine hybridisation of a coordination compound:-
1. Central metal ion release the electron equal to its oxidation state,
2. Metal ion arrange empty orbitals equal to its coordination number,
3. These empty orbital arrange in a specfic geometry,
4.Hybridised orbitals of metal ion forms bonds with the lone pair orbitals of ligand.
Apply these rules for

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