Given below are two statements:

  Statement I : [ N i ( C N ) 4 ] 2  is square planar and diamagnetic complex, with dsp2 hybridizatin for Ni but [ N i ( C O ) 4 ]  is tetrahedral, paramagnetic and with sp3 hybridization for Ni.

Statement II :  [ N i C l 4 ] 2 a n d [ N i ( C O ) 4 ]  both have same d-electron configuration have same geometry and are paramagnetic.

In light the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

 

Option 1 - <p>Both Statement I and Statement II are true.</p>
Option 2 - <p>Both Statement I and Statement II are false.</p>
Option 3 - <p>Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.</p>

Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:

[ N i ( C N ) 4 ] 2  

CN- is strong field ligand


N i 2 + = 4 s 0 3 d 8  

 Here; [ N i ( C N ) 4 ] 2 is square planar and diamagnetic.

[ N i ( C O ) 4 ]  

Ni = 4s23d8         Co is strong field ligand.

Here ;  [ N i ( C O ) 4 ]  is tetrahedral and diamagnetic

[ N i ( C N ) 4 ] 2  has 3d8 configuration while [ N i ( C O ) 4 ]  has 3d10 configuration.
