The theory that can completely/properly explain the nature of bonding in

Question:

The theory that can completely/properly explain the nature of bonding in $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\right]$ is:

  1. Werner's theory

  2. Crystal field theory

  3. Valence bond theory

  4. Molecular orbital theory


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

In complex $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\right]$ decrease in $\mathrm{Ni}-\mathrm{C}$ bond length and increase in $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}$ bond length as well as it's magnetic property is explained by MOT.
