Which of the following is not square planar ?A. `[PtCl_(4)]^(-2)`B. `[Pt(CN)_(4)]^(-2)`C. `[NiCl_(4)]^(-2)`D. `[PdCl_(4)]^(-2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`[NiCl_(4)]^(-2)` has `sp^(3)` hybridised state due weak field nature of `Cl^(-)ion` but `Pt^(2+)andPd^(2+)(4^(th)and5^(th)` trasition series) pairing of electron takes place irrespective of nature of ligand resulting in square planar complexes. ]
