Q12 / 51 · JEE Advanced 2024 (Paper 2) · Chemistry
Among $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{4-},\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CO})_3(\mathrm{NO})\right], \mathrm{XeF}_4,\left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{+},\left[\mathrm{PdCl}_4\right]^{2-},\left[\mathrm{ICl}_4\right]^{-},\left[\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{3-}$ and $\mathrm{P}_4$ the total number of species with tetrahedral geometry is _______
Correct answer: 5
Solution
$\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{4-},\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CO})_3 \mathrm{NO}\right],\left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{+},\left[\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{3-} ~\&~ \mathrm{P}_4$ are with tetrahedral geometry.
Hence, the correct answer is 5.
