Answer:
[Ni(CN)4]2- square planar
[NiCl4]2- tetrahedral
Explanation:
For a four coordinate complex such as [Ni(CN)4]2- and [NiCl4]2-, we can decide its geometry by closely considering its magnetic properties. Both of the complexes are d8 complexes which could be found either in the tetrahedral or square planar crystal field depending on the nature of the ligand.
CN^- being a strong field ligand leads to the formation of a square planar diamagnetic d8 complex of Ni^2+. Similarly, Cl^- being a weak field ligand leads to the formation a a tetrahedral paramagnetic d8 complex of Ni^+ hence the answer given above.
Explanation:
Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability
Answer : The technology that can make coal a cleaner fuel is to use lower quality of coal with high sulfur content.
Explanation : Using lower quality of coal with high amount of sulfur in it can make coal a cleaner fuel because of high amount of sulfur it will have better combustion.
