The compound having a tetrahedral geometry is .

A

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

B

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

C

`[PdCI)_(4)]^(2-)`

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Hybridization of `[NiCI_(4)]^(2-)= sp^(3)`
Shape of `[NicI_(4)]^(2-) = Tetrahedral`
Hence, (A) is the correct answer
