why [Ni (CN)4]-2 has a square planar structure??
Answer (1)
22nd Jun, 2020
Hey there
CN- is a strong field ligand and thus all electrons get paired of nickel which is in +2 state in the compound. With one orbial of 3d, 4s and two 4p it makes the stable compound having dsp2 hybridization resulting in square planer structure not tetrahedral.
Good luck
