    Which of the following complexes is square planar and diamagnetic?

    A)  \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    B) \[{{[NI{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    C)  \[{{[Cr{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}\]

    D)  \[{{[CuC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     ln\[\text{Ni(CN}{{\text{)}}_{\text{4}}}\text{,Ni}\]is in \[\text{ds}{{\text{p}}^{2}}\] hybridised and the shape is square planar. The square planar geometry results in diamagnetic magnetism as all the electrons are paired resulting in zero spin.
