Q
Q: What type of hybridization occurs in the complex [Ni(CO)4]?
Solution:
[Ni(CO)4] has a tetrahedral geometry, which corresponds to sp3 hybridization.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the central metal atom in the complex [Ni(CO)4]. In this case, the central atom is Nickel (Ni).
Step 2: Determine the oxidation state of Nickel in the complex. Since CO is a neutral ligand, Nickel remains in the 0 oxidation state.
Step 3: Count the number of ligands attached to Nickel. There are 4 CO ligands in [Ni(CO)4].
Step 4: Recognize that 4 ligands around a central atom typically lead to a tetrahedral geometry.
Step 5: Understand that tetrahedral geometry corresponds to sp3 hybridization, which involves mixing one s orbital and three p orbitals.
