The geometry of `Ni(CO_(4))` and `Ni(PPh_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)` areA. both square planarB. tetrahedral and square planarC. both tetrahedralD. square planar and tetrahedral . |

Answer» Correct Answer - C `Ni(CO)_(4)` : Tetrahedral `Ni^(2+)` (Z = 28) : `[Ar]^(18)3d^(8)` In `[Ni(PPh_(3))_(2)Cl_(2)]` both the ilgands `PPh^(3)` and Cl are weak and as such cannot pair up the d-electrons. Thus hybridisation is `sp^(3)` and shape is tetrahedral. |
