The geometry of Ni(CO)4 and Ni(PPh3)2Cl2 are [Manipal 2006]
A.both square planar
B.tetrahedral and square planar respectively
C.both tetrahedral✓ Correct
D.square planar and tetrahedral respectively
Explanation
In [Ni(CO)4] & [NiCl2(PPh3)2], the central metal atom/ion undergoes sp3 hybridization to form tetrahedral geometry. Nickel is at the center and four ligands are at the corners of a tetrahedron. Hence, the correct option is (C).
