    Analysis show that nickel oxide consist of nickel ion with 96% ions having \[{{d}^{8}}\] configuration and 4% having \[{{d}^{7}}\]configuration. Which amongst the following best represents the formula of the oxide.

    A) \[N{{i}_{1.02}}{{O}_{1.00}}\]

    B) \[N{{i}_{0.96}}{{O}_{1.00}}\]

    C) \[N{{i}_{0.98}}{{O}_{0.98}}\]

    D) \[N{{i}_{0.98}}{{O}_{1.00}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{d}^{8}}\to N{{i}^{2+}},\]            \[{{d}^{7}}\to N{{i}^{3+}}.\]
    Total charge of nickel.
    \[(0.96\times 2)+(0.04\times 3)=2.04\]
    No. of \[{{O}^{2-}}\text{ion=}\frac{2.04}{2}=1.02.\]
    Formula of \[\text{solid}=Ni{{O}_{1.02}}=N{{i}_{0.98}}O.\]
