Question

Nicl2{p(c2h5)2(c6h5)}2 exhibits temperature dependent magnetic behaviour (paramagnetic/diamagnetic). The coordination geometries of ni2+ in the paramagnetic and diamagnetic states are respectively [

Answer 1

The correct answer will be Tetrahedral and square planar.

The coordination geometries of nickel in paramagnetic and diamagnetic will be tetrahedral ad square planar erespectively.

[ NiCl2 ( PEt2Ph ) ] includes nickel ( Ni ^ 2+ ) with the following electronic configuration :

Ni ^ 2+ = [ Ar ] 3d ^ 8 4s ^ 0
