[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-) is diamagnetic , while [NiCl_(4)]^(2-) is paramagentic, explain using crystal field theory.

Answer»

Solution :`(a) [Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`
`Ni=3d^(8)4S^(2)`
`Ni^(2+)=3d^(8)`

Nature of the complex-Low spin (Spin PAIRED)
Ligand filled electronic configuration of central metal ion, `t_(2g)^(6)e_(g)^(2)`
Magnetic property : No unpaired electron (`CN^(-)` is strong filled ligand ), hence it is dimagnetic.
Magnetic MOMENT : `mu_(s)=0`
`(b)=[NiCl_(4)]^(2-)`
`Ni=3d^(8)4S^(2)`
`Ni^(2+)=3d^(8)`

Naute of the complex,-HIGH spin
Ligand filled electronic configuration of central metal ion , `t_(2g)^(6)e_(g)^(2)`
Magnetic property : Two unpaired electron (`Cl^(-)` is weak field ligand). Hence it is paramagnetic
Magnetic moment : `mus=sqrt(2(2+2))`
`=sqrt(8)=2.83BM`
