Question

The structure of paramagnetic nickel complex, [NiCl4]2- is (A) tetrahedral (B) square planar (C) trigonal bipyramidal (D) distorted octahedral

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In [Ni(Cl)4]2- complex ion, Ni is in +2 oxidation state. It has electronic configuration 3d8. It is paramagnetic and sp3 hybridised so the four hybridised equivalent orbitals oriented tetrahedrally

Q. The structure of paramagnetic nickel complex, $[N i C l_{4}]^{2 -}$ is
