Why is Ni (CO) 4 tetrahedral and diamagnetic?

Now the electronic configuration of nickel atom in ground state is 3d8 4s2. But in excited state, the 4s electron of central meal Ni-atom is shitted to 3d-sub shell. Under this condition, the 3d sub shell occupied 10 electrons. That is, 3d-subshell has no unpaired el...
