The geometry and magnetic behaviour of the complex are:

  1. A
    Square planar geometry and paramagnetic
  2. B
    Tetrahedral geometry and diamagnetic
  3. C
    Square planar geometry and diamagnetic
  4. D
    Tetrahedral geometry and paramagnetic

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In : is in oxidation state (). is a strong field ligand, forcing all 10 valence electrons to pair up in the subshell ().The empty and three orbitals hybridize to form orbitals. hybridization gives a tetrahedral geometry.All electrons are paired, making it diamagnetic.
