The geometries of the ammonia complexes of

N{i}^{2 +}, P{t}^{2 +}andZ{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
$N{i}^{2 +}$	${\left[Ni{\left(N{H}_{3}\right)}_{6}\right]}^{2 +}$	Octahedral
$P{t}^{2 +}$	${\left[Pt{\left(N{H}_{3}\right)}_{4}\right]}^{2 +}$	Square planar
$Z{n}^{2 +}$	${\left[Zn{\left(N{H}_{3}\right)}_{4}\right]}^{2 +}$	Tetrahedral

So, option octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral order is correct.
