Question

The species having tetrahedral shape is ______.

विकल्प

• [PdCl₄]²⁻

• [Ni(CN)₄]²⁻

• [Pd(CN)₄]²⁻

• [NiCl₄]²⁻

Answer 1

The species having tetrahedral shape is `bbunderline([NiCl_4]^(2-))`.

Explanation:

[NiCl₄]²⁻ has a tetrahedral shape because nickel in the +2 oxidation state prefers a tetrahedral geometry with chloride ligands. The other complexes listed, such as [PdCl₄]²⁻, [Ni(CN)₄]²⁻, [Pd(CN)₄]²⁻, have square planar geometries.
