The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes have tetrahedral geometry, we will analyze each complex based on its electronic configuration, oxidation state, and hybridization. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze `Ni(CO)₄`:** - Nickel (Ni) has an electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d⁸ 4s². - In `Ni(CO)₄`, Ni is in the zero oxidation state (0). - CO is a strong field ligand and leads to the pairing of electrons. - The hybridization is sp³ (4 coordinate bonds). - **Geometry:** Tetrahedral. 2. **Analyze `K[AgF₄]`:** - The oxidation state of Ag in `K[AgF₄]` can be calculated as follows: Let the oxidation state of Ag be x. The equation becomes x + 4(-1) = -1, leading to x = +3. - The electronic configuration of Ag in +3 state is [Kr] 4d⁸. - The ligands (F⁻) are strong field ligands, leading to pairing of electrons. - The hybridization is dsp² (4 coordinate bonds). - **Geometry:** Square planar. 3. **Analyze `Na₂[Zn(CN)₄]`:** - The oxidation state of Zn in `Na₂[Zn(CN)₄]` is +2. - The electronic configuration of Zn in +2 state is [Ar] 3d¹⁰. - Since the d-orbitals are fully filled, only s and p orbitals are available for hybridization. - The hybridization is sp³ (4 coordinate bonds). - **Geometry:** Tetrahedral. 4. **Analyze `K₂[PtCl₄]`:** - The oxidation state of Pt in `K₂[PtCl₄]` is +2. - The electronic configuration of Pt in +2 state is [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d⁸. - The ligands (Cl⁻) are strong field ligands, leading to pairing of electrons. - The hybridization is dsp² (4 coordinate bonds). - **Geometry:** Square planar. 5. **Analyze `[RhCl(PPh₃)₃]`:** - The oxidation state of Rh can be determined by considering the charge of the complex. - Assuming Rh is in +3 oxidation state, its electronic configuration is [Kr] 4d⁶. - The bulky ligand PPh₃ allows for tetrahedral arrangement. - The hybridization is sp³ (4 coordinate bonds). - **Geometry:** Tetrahedral. ### Summary of Complexes: - **Tetrahedral Geometry:** `Ni(CO)₄`, `Na₂[Zn(CN)₄]`, `[RhCl(PPh₃)₃]` - **Square Planar Geometry:** `K[AgF₄]`, `K₂[PtCl₄]` ### Final Answer: The group of complexes having tetrahedral geometry is: - `Ni(CO)₄` - `Na₂[Zn(CN)₄]` - `[RhCl(PPh₃)₃]`
