During chemistry class, a teacher wrote \[\ce{[Ni(CN)4]^2-}\] as a coordination complex ion on the board. The students were asked to find out the magnetic behaviour and shape of the complex. Pari, a student, wrote the answer paramagnetic and tetrahedral whereas another student Suhail wrote diamagnetic and square planer.
Evaluate Pari’s and Suhail’s responses.
