`[NiCl_(4)]^(2-)` is paramagnetic while `[Ni(CO)_(4)]` is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral. Why? |
|
Answer» The `Cl^(-)` is a weak field ligand and cannot cause the electron pairing . On the other hand , CO is a strong field ligand and can cause the electron pairing . That is why , `(NiCl_(4))^(2-)` is paramagnetic while `[Ni(CO)_(4)]` is diamagnetic nature . For details , consult section 10 . |
