  1. A Octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral
  2. B square planar, octahedral and tetrahedral
  3. C tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral
  4. D octahedral , tetrahedral and square planar
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Metal ionComplex with \(NH _3\)Geometry
\(Ni ^{2+}\)\(\left[ Ni \left( NH _3\right)_6\right]^{2+}\)Octahedral
\(Pt ^{2+}\)\(\left[ Pt \left( NH _3\right)_4\right]^{2+}\)Square planar
\(Zn ^{2+}\)\(\left[ Zn \left( NH _3\right)_4\right]^{2+}\)Tetrahedral
So, option octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral order is correct.
