For \([ \text{NiCl}_4 ]^{2-}\), what is the charge on metal and shape of complex respectively?
For \([ \text{NiCl}_4 ]^{2-}\), what is the charge on metal and shape of complex respectively?
Show Hint
For tetrahedral complexes, the metal ion typically has a +2 charge when the ligands are simple anions like \( \text{Cl}^- \).
Updated On: Mar 19, 2026
- \( +2, \text{tetrahedral} \)
- \( +2, \text{square planar} \)
- \( +4, \text{tetrahedral} \)
- \( +4, \text{square planar} \)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The complex ion [NiCl4]2- carries a charge of -2. The central metal ion is Ni, which possesses a +2 charge. The complex exhibits tetrahedral geometry.
