Question

The geometry of $Ni(CO)_{4}$ and $Ni(PPh_{3})_{2}Cl_{2}$ are:

both square planar

tetrahedral and square planar respectively

both tetrahedral

square planar and tetrahedral respectively

Answer

both tetrahedral

Explanation

Solution

$Ni ( CO )_{4}$ and $Ni \left( PPh _{3}\right)_{2} Cl _{2}$ are tetrahedral in geometrical shape, because co-ordination number of $Ni$ is 4 in both cases.
