Vedclass · Answer

(B) In the complex $[Ag(NH_3)_2]^{+}$,the central metal ion is $Ag^{+}$.The electronic configuration of $Ag^{+}$ is $[Kr] 4d^{10}$.Since the coordination number is $2$,the silver ion undergoes $sp$ hybridization to accommodate the two lone pairs donated by the two $NH_3$ ligands.Thus,the hybridization is $sp$,resulting in a linear geometry.Hence,the correct option is $B$.
