Predict the number of unpaired electrons in the squar planar [Pt(CN)_4]^(2-) ion. |
| Answer» Solution :The PUTER electronic CONFIGURATION of Pt is `5d^96s^1`.in `[Pt(CN)_4]^2-`the oxidation state of Pt is +2 and has the configuration `5d^8` for squar planar shape the hybridisation of Pt must be `dsp^2` hence under the influence of CN- the d ELECTRONS of Pt get paired to make one d orbital empty so THER are no unpairedelectrons in the complex ion. | |
