    Which of the following statements is not correct?

    A)  The complexes\[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]and\[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\] differ in the state of hybridization of nickel

    B)  The complexes\[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]and\[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\] differ in the magnetic properties

    C)  The complexes\[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]and\[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\] differ in geometry

    D)  The complexes\[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]and\[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]differ in primary valencies of nickel

    E)  Nickel ion has the same secondary valency in the complexes\[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]and\[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The primary valencies of\[Ni,\]in the complexes \[{{[Ni(C{{l}_{4}})]}^{2-}}\]and\[{{[Ni(C{{N}_{4}})]}^{2-}}\]is same ie,\[(+\text{II})\]. Primary valencies are those valencies in which a metal exhibits in the formation of its simple salt, these are non-directional. It is also referred as oxidation state of central metal atom.
