Identify the correct geometry and magnetic behaviour of the complex from the configuration shown.(a) Square planar, diamagnetic(b) Square planar, paramagnetic(c) Tetrahedral, diamagnetic(d) Tetrahedral, paramagneticThis question was posed to me in semester exam.This intriguing question comes from Bonding in Coordination Compounds topic in section Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (a) Square PLANAR, diamagnetic

Easiest explanation: The HYBRIDISATION type of the complex is dsp^2 which CORRESPONDS to square planar GEOMETRY. Because there are no unpaired electrons, it is diamagnetic.
