What type of geometry and magnetic nature is present in a complex \(\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{2-?}\)
- A Square planar, diamagnetic
- B Square planar, Paramagnetic
- C Tetrahedral, Paramagnetic
- D Tetrahedral, diamagnetic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Tetrahedral, Paramagnetic
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

As \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)is a weak field ligand, therefore outer hybridization takes place and \(\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_4\right]^{-2}\) has tetrahedral geometry and paramagnetic character.
