1.

Among the following , the species having square planar geometry for central atoms are (i) `XeF_(4)` (ii) `SF_(4)` (ii) `|NiCl_(4)|^(2-)` (iv)`|PtCl_(4)|^(2)`A. (i) and (iv)B. (i) and (ii)C. (ii) and (iii)D. (iii) and (iv)

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`XeF_(4)` = square planar `(sp^(3)d^(2))`
`SF_(4)` = distorted trigonal bipyramidal `(sp^(3)d)`
`|NiCl_(4)|^(2-)` = tetrahedral `(sp^(3))`
`|PtCl_(4)|^(2-)` = Square planar `(dsp^(2))`
