The correct statement with respect to the complexes `Ni(CO)_(4) and |Ni(CN)_(4)|^(2-)` isA. Contains Ni atom in same oxidation state in both the complexesB. Possess square planar geometryC. Possess tetrahedral geometryD. Have square planar and tetrahedral geometry respectively

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The hybridisation of Ni in `[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` is `dsp ^(2)`
therefore , their shape comes out to be square planar . Whereas , `[Ni(CO)_(4)]` contains `SP_(3)` - hybridised Ni- atom due to which its shape comes out to be tetrahedral .
