    . The compound having tetrahedral geometry is

    A)  \[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    B)  \[{{[Pd{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    C)  \[{{[PdC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    D)  \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]oxidation state of \[Ni\] is \[+2\] \[N{{i}^{2+}}=1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{8}}\] Hence, due to \[S{{P}^{3}}\] hybridisation of \[N{{i}^{2+}}\] in \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2}},\]the shape of \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\] is tetrahedral.
