Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
CI- is a weak ligand which is unable to pair the electrons of Ni2+. Therefore, here hybridization is sp3 and shape will be tetrahedral.
Electronic configuration of Ni+2 (No. of electrons = 26) in presence of CI­- ion, a weak ligand.

Magnetic moment of [NiCI4]2- = √2(2 + 2) = 2.82 BM On the other hand, CN- is a stong ligand which pairs up the electrons of Ni2+. Therefore, here hybridization is dsp2 and shape will be square planar.
Electronic configuration of Ni2+ in presence of CN- ion, a strong ligand.

For structure of [Ni(CN)4]2- = √0(0 + 2) = 0.01 BM

Thanks
