MCQ
What is the geometry of a d8 metal complex with a strong field ligand in square planar arrangement?
Chemistry
A Tetrahedral
B Square planar
C Octahedral
D Trigonal bipyramidal
Explanation

d8 metals (like Ni2+, Pd2+, Pt2+) with strong field ligands form square planar complexes because the large crystal field splitting makes this geometry more stable than tetrahedral.
