  2. B tetrahedral, square planar and square pyramidal
  3. C square planar, square planar and octahedral
  4. D tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]\) Ground state electronic configuration \(=3 d^8 4 s^2\) \(\mathrm{CO}\) is strong field ligand, so it pushes \(10 e^{-}\)to \(3 d\)-orbital. The hybridisation of \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4\right]\) is \(s p^3\) and geometry is…
