Question

The geometries of the ammonia complexes of $N{i}^{2+},P{t}^{2+}$ and $Z{n}^{2+},$ respectively, are

• A. octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral
• B. square planar, octahedral and tetrahedral
• C. tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral
• D. octahedral, tetrahedral and square planar

Answer 1

The correct option is A octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral

$[\underset{octahedral}{Ni(N{H}_3{)}_6}{]}^{2+};[\underset{squareplanar}{Pt(N{H}_3{)}_4}{]}^{2+};[\underset{tetrahedral}{Zn(N{H}_3{)}_4}{]}^{2+}$
