$${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$$
Let oxidation state of $$Ni$$ in $${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$$ is $$x.$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,\,x - 4 = - 2 \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\,\,x = 2 \cr} $$
Now, $$N{i^{2 + }} = \left[ {Ar} \right]3{d^8}4{s^0}$$
$$\because \,\,C{N^ - }$$ is a strong field ligand. Hence, all unpaired electrons are paired up.
∴ Hybridisation of $${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$$ is $$ds{p^2}$$

Hexacyano complexes of metals in their +2 oxidation state are usually yellow while the corresponding hexaaqua compounds are often blue or green. This
is so because
A
hexacyano complexes absorb orange or red light thus appear yellow while hexaaqua complexes absorb indigo thus appear yellow
B
hexacyano complexes absorb indigo thus appearing yellow while hexaaqua complexes absorb orange or red light thus appear blue or green
C
hexacyano complexes absorb yellow light while hexaaqua complexes absorb blue light
D
$$C{N^ - }$$ ions are yellow in colour while aqua ions are blue or green in colour
Answer :
hexacyano complexes absorb indigo thus appearing yellow while hexaaqua complexes absorb orange or red light thus appear blue or green
In the presence of oxygen, $$Ag$$ metal forms a water soluble complex $$Na\left[ {Ag{{\left( {CN} \right)}_2}} \right]$$ with dilute solution of $$NaCN$$
$$4Ag + 8NaCN + 2{H_2}O + {O_2} \to \mathop {4Na\left[ {Ag{{\left( {CN} \right)}_2}} \right]}\limits_{\left( {{\text{Soluble}}} \right)} + 4NaOH$$

Consider the following isomers.
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\text{i}} \right)\left[ {Pt{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}C{l_2}} \right]B{r_2} \cr
& \left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)\left[ {Pt{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}B{r_2}} \right]C{l_2} \cr
& \left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}C{l_2}} \right]N{O_2} \cr} $$
Which of the following observations is correct?
A
(i) will give a pale yellow and (ii) will give a white precipitate with $$AgN{O_3}$$ solution.
B
(iii) will give a white precipitate with $$AgN{O_3}$$ solution.
C
(i), (ii) and (iii) will give white precipitate with $$AgN{O_3}$$ solution.
D
None of the above isomers will give white precipitate with $$AgN{O_3}$$ solution.
Answer :
(i) will give a pale yellow and (ii) will give a white precipitate with $$AgN{O_3}$$ solution.

The stabilisation of coordination compounds due to chelation is called the chelate effect. Which of the following is the most stable complex species?
A
$$\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CO} \right)}_5}} \right]$$
B
$${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$
C
$${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {{C_2}{O_4}} \right)}_3}} \right]^{3 - }}$$
D
$${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }}$$
$${C_2}O_4^{2 - }$$ (oxalate) is didentate ligand and forms chelate
complexes which are more stable than similar complexes containing unidentate ligands.

The octahedral complex of a metal ion $${M^{3 + }}$$ with four monodentate ligands $${L_1},{L_2},{L_3}$$ and $${L_4}$$ absorb wavelengths in the region of red, green, yellow and blue, respectively. The increasing order of ligand strength of the four ligands is:
For a given metal ion, weak field ligands create a complex with smaller $$\vartriangle ,$$ which will absorbs light of longer $$\lambda $$ and thus lower frequency. Conservely, stronger field ligands create a larger $$\vartriangle ,$$ absorb light of shorter $$\lambda $$ and thus higher vi.e. higher energy.
$$\mathop {{\text{Red}}}\limits_{\lambda = 650nm} < \mathop {{\text{Yellow}}}\limits_{570\,nm} < \mathop {{\text{Green}}}\limits_{490\,nm} < \mathop {{\text{Blue}}}\limits_{450\,nm} $$
So order of ligand strength is
$${L_1} < {L_3} < {L_2} < {L_4}$$
