JEE Main 2026 — 6 April, Evening Shift — Question 55

Which of the following sequence of hybridisation, geometry and magnetic nature are correct for the given coordination compounds ? A. [NiCl4]2−−sp3\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}-\mathrm{sp}^{3}, tetrahedral, paramagnetic B. [Ni(NH3)6]2+−sp3 d2\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}-\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2}, octahedral, paramagnetic C. [Ni(CO)4]−sp3\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\right]-\mathrm{sp}^{3}, tetrahedral, paramagnetic D. [Ni(CN)4]2−−dsp2\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}-\mathrm{dsp}^{2}, square planar diamagnetic
