28 Ni 2+ in [N i( NH 3)6]2+ has 1 s2, 2 s2 2 p6, 3 s2 3 p6 3 d8 configuration. It uses 4 textth orbital to show s p3 d2 hybridizaation to form outer complex with 2 unpaired electrons in 3 d - orbital.

Q. Which one of the following is an outer orbital complex and exhibits paramagnetic behaviour?

$[N i (N H_{3})_{6}]^{2 +}$

$[Z n (N H_{3})_{6}]^{2 +}$

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

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

$_{28} N i^{2 +}$ in $[N i (N H_{3})_{6}]^{2 +}$ has $1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}, 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{8}$ configuration. It uses $4^{th}$ orbital to show $s p^{3} d^{2}$ hybridizaation to form outer complex with $2$ unpaired electrons in $3 d -$ orbital.
