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 -

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Option 2 -

Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

Option 3 -

    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.
