Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) a,c,d and e

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[\mathrm{Ni} \mathrm{Cl}_4\right]^{-2}\)
\(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{S}\) of \(\mathrm{Ni}-+2\)
Coordination no. of \(\mathrm{Ni}^{+2}-4\)
\(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)is weak field ligand, pairing does not take place



\(\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{-2}\) is paramagnetic
