Among the following, the species with tetrahedral geometry ?

A

`[Pd(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`

B

`[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`

C

`[PdCl_(4)]^(2-)`

D

`[NiCl_(4)]^(2-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

AS `Cl^(-)` is a weak field ligand, no regrouping of electrons occurs. Hence Ni(II) undergoes `sp^(3)` hybridisation, and acquires tetrahedral geometry.
