The geometries of the ammonia complexes of N i 2 +   ,   P t 2 +   a n d   Z n 2 +…

The geometries of the ammonia complexes of Ni2+ , Pt2+ and Zn2+ respectively, are :
  1. Octahedral, square planar and tetrahedral
  2. square planar, octahedral and tetrahedral
  3. tetrahedral, square planar and octahedral
  4. 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. !
