    Among the following, which one is paramagnetic and has tetrahedral geometry?

    A)  \[{{[Ni{{(CN)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]      

    B) \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    C)  \[[Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}]\]                       

    D) \[{{[CoC{{l}_{2}}{{(en)}_{2}}]}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[{{[NiC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]has tetrahedral geometry due to \[s{{p}^{3}}\]hybridization. It contains two unpaired electrons hence it is paramagnetic in nature.
