Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \(\left[ NiCl _4\right]^{2-}\): \(Ni^{2+}\) (\(3d^8\)). \(Cl^-\) is weak field. \(sp^3\) hybridization. Tetrahedral, paramagnetic (2 unpaired electrons). (B)\(\left[ Ni ( CN )_4\right]^{2-}\): \(Ni^{2+}\) (\(3d^8\)). \(CN^-\) is strong field. \(dsp^2\) hybridization. Square…
