The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes has a square planar geometry, we need to analyze the complexes mentioned in the question and their electronic configurations, hybridization, and the nature of the ligands. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the complexes**: The complexes given are: - Ni(CO)₄ - AgF₄⁻ - Ne₂Zn(CN)₄ 2. **Analyze each complex**: - **Ni(CO)₄**: Nickel in this complex is in the zero oxidation state. Nickel (Ni) has an electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d⁸ 4s². In the presence of CO (a strong field ligand), it undergoes sp³ hybridization, leading to a tetrahedral geometry. - **AgF₄⁻**: Silver (Ag) in this complex is in the +3 oxidation state. The electronic configuration of Ag is [Kr] 4d¹⁰. In the +3 state, Ag has an electronic configuration of 4d⁸. The presence of strong field ligands (F⁻) causes pairing of electrons and results in dsp² hybridization, which leads to a square planar geometry. - **Ne₂Zn(CN)₄**: Zinc (Zn) is in the +2 oxidation state here. The electronic configuration of Zn is [Ar] 3d¹⁰. Since there are no d electrons available for pairing, Zn will undergo sp³ hybridization, resulting in a tetrahedral geometry. 3. **Determine the geometry**: - From the analysis: - Ni(CO)₄: Tetrahedral - AgF₄⁻: Square planar - Ne₂Zn(CN)₄: Tetrahedral 4. **Conclusion**: The complex that has square planar geometry is **AgF₄⁻**. ### Final Answer: The complex with square planar geometry is **AgF₄⁻**. ---
