  1. A Tetrahedral, low spin and square planar, high spin respectively
  2. B Tetrahedral, high spin and square planar, low spin respectively
  3. C Square planar, low spin and tetrahedral, high spin respectively
  4. D Square planar, high spin and tetrahedral, low spin respectively
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Square planar, low spin and tetrahedral, high spin respectively

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[ Ni ( CN )_4\right]^{2-}\): \(Ni^{2+} (3d^8)\), strong field ligand \(\rightarrow\) Square planar, low spin. \(\left[ NiCl _4\right]^{2-}\): \(Ni^{2+} (3d^8)\), weak field ligand \(\rightarrow\) Tetrahedral, high spin. Square planar, low spin and Tetrahedral, high spin…
