Question

nickel does not form low spin octahedral complexes

Answer 1

d2sp3 hybridisation is not formed..

Answer 2

Hey buddy,

# Why octahedral complexes of Nickel don't show low spin configuration -
- The energy gap between two levels(Δt) of octahedral complexes of Ni is less than the pairing energy.
- In these complexes, electrons will move up to the higher energy orbitals rather than pair. Because of this, most of these complexes are high spin.
- Therefore octahedral complexes of Ni show high spin configuration instead of low spin configuration.

Thank you..
