JEE Main 28 June 2022, Shift 1, Chemistry Q69

Question 69 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 9 of 30, Section A.

Given below are two statements : Statement I : [Ni(CN)4]2−\mathrm{[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}} is square planar and diamagnetic complex, with dsp2dsp^2 hybridization for Ni but [Ni(CO)4]\mathrm{[Ni(CO)_4]} is tetrahedral, paramagnetic and with sp3sp^3- hybridization for Ni. Statement II : [NiCl4]2−\mathrm{[NiCl_4]^{2-}} and [Ni(CO)4]\mathrm{[Ni(CO)_4]} both have same d-electron configuration, have same geometry and are paramagnetic. In light the above statements, choose the correct answer form the options given below :
  1. (1)Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
  2. (2)Both Statement I and Statement II are false.Official answer
  3. (3)Statement I is correct but statement II is false.
