The geometry of Ni ( CO )₄ and Ni ( PPh ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ are :
Options
- Aboth square planar
- Btetrahedral and square planar respectively
- Cboth tetrahedral
- Dsquare planar and tetrahedral respectively
Correct answer
C. both tetrahedral
Step-by-step solution
Ni ( CO )₄ and Ni ( PPh ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ are tetrahedral in geometrical shape, because co-ordination number of Ni is 4 in both cases.
