Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A, B and D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \([\text{NiCl}_4]^{2-}\), Ni is in \(+2\) oxidation state with a \(3d^8\) configuration. Since \(\text{Cl}^-\) is a weak field ligand, no pairing of electrons takes place. The hybridisation is \(sp^3\), the geometry is tetrahedral, and the presence of two unpaired electrons…
