Assertion: Ni(CO)4 is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons because it is a tetrahedral d^8 complex. Reason: In Ni(CO

Question

Assertion: Ni(CO)4 is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons because it is a tetrahedral d^8 complex. Reason: In Ni(CO)4 nickel is in the zero oxidation state and its valence electrons are arranged as 3d^10.

Accepted Answer

Assertion is false but Reason is true

Answer

Both Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion

Answer

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

Answer

Assertion is true but Reason is false

Assertion: $Ni (CO) X_{4}$ is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons because it is a tetrahedral $d^{8}$ complex. Reason: In $Ni (CO) X_{4}$ nickel is in the zero oxidation state and its valence electrons are arranged as $3 d^{10}$ .

Answer: D
