[Ni(CN)]2- is diamagnetic. Deduce the molecular structure of the complex ion tetracyanonickelate(II). Draw the crystal energy diagram for the 3d-orbitals of this complex. What type of orbital hybridization is suggested for the ion that is consistent with its magnetic property in this complex ion? Consider the valence shell of Ni.
