Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A), (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Ni^{2+}\): \(x + 4(-1) = -2 \Rightarrow x = +2\). Statement (A) is correct. Cl is a weak field ligand. Statement (B) is correct. \(Ni^{2+}\) has \(3d^8\). With weak field \(\text{Cl}^-\), \\([NiCl_4]^{2-}\\) is tetrahedral, \(sp^3\) hybridised, high spin. \(3d^8\)…
