Among [Co(CN)4]4−,[Co(CO)3(NO)],XeF4,[PCl4]+,[PdCl4]2−,[ICl4]−,[Cu(CN)4]3−\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{4-},\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CO})_3(\mathrm{NO})\right], \mathrm{XeF}_4,\left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{+},\left[\mathrm{PdCl}_4\right]^{2-},\left[\mathrm{ICl}_4\right]^{-},\left[\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{3-} and P4\mathrm{P}_4 the total number of species with tetrahedral geometry is _______.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

[Co(CN)4]4−⇒Co0⇒3d74s2[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_4]^{4-} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Co}^0 \Rightarrow 3 d^7 4 s^2

Due to SFL, CN−\mathrm{CN}^{-} pairing and transference of electron takes place and hybridisation is dsp2d s p^2

Geometry ⇒\Rightarrow Square planer

⇒ hybridisation [Co(CN)4]4−\begin{gathered}\Rightarrow \text { hybridisation }\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{4-} \end{gathered} →\to sp3\mathrm{sp}^3

amp;[Co(CO)3(NO)]→Co−1→3d84s2→3d10 ( In presence of S.F.L) amp; here NO present as +1 state amp;⇒ Hybridisation →[Co(CO)3(NO)]→sp3\begin{aligned} & {\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CO})_3(\mathrm{NO})\right] \rightarrow \mathrm{Co}^{-1} \rightarrow 3\mathrm{d}^8 4 \mathrm{s}^2 \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{d}^{10} \text { ( In presence of S.F.L) }} \\\\ & \quad \text { here NO present as }+1 \text { state } \\\\ & \Rightarrow \text { Hybridisation } \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CO})_3(\mathrm{NO})\right] \rightarrow \mathrm{sp}^3\end{aligned}

Geometry == Tetrahedral

XeF4⇒4bp+2lp⇒sp3d2\mathrm{XeF}_4 \Rightarrow 4 \mathrm{bp}+2 lp \Rightarrow s p^3 d^2

Geometry = Square planer

[PdCl4]2−⇒Pd2+,Cl−\left[\mathrm{PdCl}_4\right]^{2-} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Pd}^{2+}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-} behaves as SFL\mathrm{SFL}

Pd2+⇒4d8⇒dsp2⇒\mathrm{Pd}^{2+} \Rightarrow 4 d^8 \Rightarrow d s p^2 \Rightarrow square planer
