Given below are two statements : Statement I : [Ni(CN)4]2$-$ is square planar and diamagnetic complex, with dsp2 hybridization for Ni but [Ni(CO)4] is tetrahedral, paramagnetic and with sp3-hybridication for Ni. Statement II : [NiCl4]2$-$ and [Ni(CO)4] both have same d-electron configuration have same geometry and are paramagnetic. In light the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Question

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : [Ni(CN)₄]^2$-$ is square planar and diamagnetic complex, with dsp² hybridization for Ni but [Ni(CO)₄] is tetrahedral, paramagnetic and with sp³-hybridication for Ni.

Statement II : [NiCl₄]^2$-$ and [Ni(CO)₄] both have same d-electron configuration have same geometry and are paramagnetic.

In light the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Both Statement I and Statement II are false.

Statement I is correct but Statement II is false.

Statement I is false but Statement II is correct.
