Predict the number of unpaired electrons in the square planar `[Pt(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` ion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For square planar shape, the hybridisation is `dsp^(2)` . Hence the unpaired electrons in 5d orbital pair up to make one d orbital empty for `dsp^(2)` hybridisation. Thus there is no unpaired electron.
