How are XeF_(2) " and " XeF_(4) prepared ? Give their structures and also mention the state of hybridisation involved.

Nickel (Z=28) combines with a uninegative monodenatate ligands to form a diamagnetic complex [NiL_(4)]^(2-) . The hybridisation involved and the number of unpaired electrons present in the complex are respectively:

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions : According to Valence Bond Theory, the metal atom or ion under the influence of ligands can use its (n-1)d, ns, np or ns, np, nd orbitals for hybridisation to yield a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry such as octahedral, tetrahedral, square planar and so on. These hybridised orbitals ar allowed to overlap with ligand rbitals that can donate electron pairs for bonding. Assertion (A) : In the square planar complexes, the hybridisation involved is dsp^(2) . Reason (R) : In [NiCl)_(4)]^(2-) . Here nickel is in +2 oxidation state and has the electronic configuration 3d^(8) .

Assertion: Hybridisation is involved in the production of hybrid vigour or heterosis. Reason: Hybrid is obtained by crossing the selected inbreed lines.

When hybridisation involving d-orbitals are considered then all the five d-orbitals are not degenerate, rather d_(x^(2)-y^(2)),d_(s^(2)) and d_(xy),d_(zx) form two different sets of orbitals and orbitals of appropriate set is involved in the hybridisation. Molecule having trigonal bipyramidal geometry and sp^(3) d hybridisation, d-orbitals involved is :
