The geometries of the ammonia complexes of N i 2 + , P t 2 + a n d Z n 2 + respectively, are :
Options
- AOctahedral, square planar and tetrahedral
- Bsquare planar, octahedral and tetrahedral
- Ctetrahedral, square planar and octahedral
- Doctahedral , tetrahedral and square planar
Correct answer
A. Octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral
Step-by-step solution
Metal ion Complex with N H 3 Geometry N i 2 + N i N H 3 6 2 + Octahedral P t 2 + P t N H 3 4 2 + Square planar Z n 2 + Z n N H 3 4 2 + Tetrahedral So, option octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral order is correct.
