Assertion: The number of unpaired electrons in `[Ni(CO)_(4)]` is zero
Reason: In this compounds 4s-electrons of Ni atom enter the inner d-orbitals to facilitate the `sp^(3)` hybridisation in Ni atom .

A

(a) zero

B

(b) one

C

(c) three

D

(d) five

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Due to presence of strong ligand all the `e^(-)` get paired. So number of unpaired electrons is 0.
