The pair(s) of complexes wherein both exhibit tetrahedral geometry is(are)
(Note:

py =

pyridine Given: Atomic numbers of

Fe, Co, Ni

and

Cu

are

26, 27, 28

and

29

, respectively)

{[{FeCl}_{4}]}^{-}

and

{[Fe {(CO)}_{4}]}^{2 -}

{[Co {(CO)}_{4}]}^{-}

and

{[{CoCl}_{4}]}^{2 -}

[Ni {(CO)}_{4}]

and

{[Ni {(CN)}_{4}]}^{2 -}

{[Cu {(Py)}_{4}]}^{+}

and

{[Cu {(CN)}_{4}]}^{3 -}

Solution:

${[{FeCl}_{4}]}^{-}$ : ${sp}^{3}$ Tetrahedral

${[Fe {(CO)}_{4}]}^{2 -}$ : ${sp}^{3}$ Tetrahedral (Isoelectronic to $Ni {(CO)}_{4}$ )

${[Co {(CO)}_{4}]}^{-}$ : ${sp}^{3}$ Tetrahedral (Isoelectronic to $Ni {(CO)}_{4}$ )

${[{CoCl}_{4}]}^{2 -}$ : ${sp}^{3}$ Tetrahedral

$[Ni {(Co)}_{4}]$ : ${sp}^{3}$ Tetrahedral (Complex of Mond's process)

${[Ni {(CN)}_{4}]}^{2 -}$ : ${dsp}^{2}$ square planar (Cyanide is strong field ligand)

${[Cu {(Py)}_{4}]}^{+}$ : ${sp}^{3}$ Tetrahedral

${[Cu {(CN)}_{4}]}^{3 -}$ : ${sp}^{3}$ Tetrahedral
