Question -

Predictthe number of unpaired electrons in the square planar [Pt(CN)4]2− ion.



Answer -

Inthis complex, Pt is in the +2 state. It forms a square planar structure. Thismeans that it undergoes dsp2 hybridization.Now, the electronic configuration of Pd(+2) is 5d8.

CN being a strong field ligand causes thepairing of unpaired electrons. Hence, there are no unpaired electrons in
