Question

The geometry of Ni(CO)4 and Ni(PPh3)2Cl2 are (A) both square planar (B) tetrahedral and square planar respectively (C) both tetrahedral (D) square planar and tetrahedral respectively

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ni(CO)4 and Ni(PPh3)2Cl2 are tetrahedral in geometrical shape, because coordination number of Ni is 4 in both cases.

Q. The geometry of $N i (CO)_{4}$ and $N i (PP h_{3})_{2} C l_{2}$ are

both square planar

tetrahedral and square planar respectively

both tetrahedral

square planar and tetrahedral respectively

$N i (CO)_{4}$ and $N i (PP h_{3})_{2} C l_{2}$ are tetrahedral in geometrical shape, because coordination number of $N i$ is $4$ in both cases.
