Q2 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2016 (Paper 2) · Chemistry

The geometries of the ammonia complexes of Ni2+ , Pt2+ and Zn2+ respectively, are :

  • Correct answer
    A
    Octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral
  • B
    square planar, octahedral and tetrahedral
  • C
    tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral
  • D
    octahedral , tetrahedral and square planar

Solution

Metal ion Complex with NH3 Geometry
Ni2+ NiNH362+ Octahedral
Pt2+ PtNH342+ Square planar
Zn2+ ZnNH342+ Tetrahedral
So, option octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral order is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
