Question

13. The hybridization in [Ni(CO),] is
a) sp b) sp c) sp’d) dsp?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It has sp^3 hybridisation. The oxidation state of Ni is 0. The valence shell electronic configuration of the ground state of Ni is 3d^84s^2 but all the 10 electrons are pushed into 3d orbital due to strong fields Co ligands approaching the Ni atom ,thereby forming sp^3 hybridisation.
