The geometries of the ammonia complexes of `Ni^(2+),Pt^(2+)` and `Zn^(2+)`, respectively, areA. octahedral, square planar and tetrahedralB. square planar, octahedral and tetrahedralC. tetrahedral, square planar and octahedralD. octahedral, tetrahedral and square planar

Answer» Correct Answer - A
the complex formed by ammonia are [Ni(Nh3)6]+2 that is octahedral,
Pt+2 shows coordination number 4 with Nh3, so complex is [pt(Nh3)4]+2 which is square planer,
Zn+2 also shows 4 coordination number, [Zn(Nh3)4]+2 which is tetrahedral geometry
