Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) A, B and D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[ Ni \left( PPh _3\right)_2 Cl _2\right]\) Given : Paramagnetic complex hence it must be tetrahedral so Crystal field splitting : (A) Tetrahedral complex not show geometrical isomerism. (B) Complex is Blue colour (C) Calculated spin only magnetic moment of the complex is…
