Which of the following complexes are not correctly matched with hybridisation of their central metal ion? 1. $\lbrack Ni(CO)_{4}\rbrack$ $sp^{3}$ 2. $\left\lbrack Ni(CO)_{4} \right\rbrack^{2 -}$ $sp^{3}$ 3. $\left\lbrack {CoF}_{6} \right\rbrack^{3 -}$ $d^{2}sp^{3}\ \$ 4. $\left\lbrack Fe(CN)_{6} \right\rbrack^{3 -}$ $sp^{3}d^{2}$ Select the correct answer using the codes given below
A) 1 and 2
B) 1 and 3
C) 2 and 4
D) 2, 3 and 4
Explanation
(d)
[table] Complex | Hybridization ; $\lbrack Ni(CO)_{4}\rbrack$ | $sp^{3}$ ; $\left\lbrack Ni(CO)_{4} \right\rbrack^{2 -}$ | $dsp^{2}$ ; $\left\lbrack {CoF}_{6} \right\rbrack^{3 -}$ | $sp^{3}d^{2}$ ; $\left\lbrack Fe(CN)_{6} \right\rbrack^{3 -}$ | $d^{2}sp^{3}$ [/table]
