Q. The geometry of $Ni(CO)_{4}\ and\ Ni\left( {PPh}_{3} \right)_{2}{Cl}_{2}\ are$
A) Both square planar
B) Tetrahedral and square planar respectively
C) Both tetrahedral
D) Square planar and tetrahedral respectively
Explanation
(c)
$Ni(CO)_{4}$ and $Ni\left( PPh_{3} \right)_{2}Cl_{2}$ are tetrahedral in geometrical shape, because coordination number of Ni is four in both cases.
