Answer:
0
Explanation:
It is a diamagnetic specie you can take a hint that pd 2+ makes weak ligand also work as strong ligand and form inner orbital complex so it will form a diamagnetic specie

The spin only magnetic moment of Pd[(PPh3)2Cl2] is equal to 0.
- Pd is in the +2 state.
- Pd(+2) has a 4d8 electronic configuration.
- This coordination compound will have a square planar geometry as when we move down from 3d to 4d series there is a huge increase in the Δs values , so inner orbital compounds formed by pairing of electrons is preferred.
- Therefore, all the 8 d-electrons will be paired and will occupy 4 d-orbitals and the remaining d-orbital will be used in bonding
- Hence , the compound is diamagnetic.
