Both [Ni(CO)_(4)] and [Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-) are diamagnetic. The hybridisations of nickel in these complexes respectively are :

Answer»

`sp^(3), sp^(3)`
`sp^(3), dsp^(2)`
`dsp^(2), sp^(3)`
`dsp^(2)" " dsp^(2)`

Solution :`NI(CO)_(4)` is TETRAHEDRAL INVOLVING `sp^(3)` hybridisation while `[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` is SQUARE planar involving `dsp^(2)` hybridisation.
