(d) octahedral, tetrahedral and square planar
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 19. (a)
Solution:
$\left[Ni\left(NH _3\right) _6\right]^{2+} s p^{3} d^{2}$ octahedral
$\left[Pt\left(NH _3\right) _4\right]^{2+} d s p^{2}$ square planar
$\left[Zn\left(NH _3\right) _4\right]^{2+} s p^{3}$ tetrahedral
