    Which one of the following has square planar structure?

    A)  \[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    B)  \[[Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}]\]

    C)  \[{{[Ni{{(Cl)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    D)  All of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Draw the excited state and find hybridisation in order to find shape of molecule. \[Ni(CN)_{4}^{2-}\] \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]                 Ni is in +2 oxidation state. \[NiC{{(CO)}_{4}}\] Tetrahedral shape Oxidation state of Ni is zero
