[PdCl4]2- is dsp2 hybridized and square planar in shape.

Q. The structure of which of the following chloro species can be explained on the basis of $d s p^{2}$ hybridization ?

$P d C l_{4}^{2 -}$

$F e C l_{4}^{2 -}$

$C o C l_{4}^{2 -}$

$N i C l_{4}^{2 -}$

$[P d C l_{4}]^{2 -} i s d s p^{2}$ hybridized and square planar in shape.
