Which of the following has square planar geometry?Which of the following has square planar geometry?

Options

  1. A[PtCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}
  2. B[NiCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}
  3. C[ZnCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{ZnCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}
  4. D[CoCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}

Correct answer

A. [PtCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}

Step-by-step solution

[PtCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-} has square planar geometry. Pt:5d96s1\mathrm{Pt}: 5 d^{9} 6 s^{1} Which of the following has square planar geometry?
Two electrons are removed from 5d5 d shell and 6s6 s shell. So, hybridisation takes place is dsp2d s p^{2} i.e. square planar geometry.
