Which of the following is not correctly matched?

\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {}&{{\text{Coordination}}\,{\text{polyhedron}}}&{{\text{Shape}}} \\ {{\text{(A)}}}&{{{{\text{[Co(N}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}{{\text{)}}_{\text{6}}}{\text{]}}}^{{\text{3 + }}}}}&{{\text{Octahedral}}} \\ {{\text{(B)}}}&{{\text{[Ni(CO}}{{\text{)}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{]}}}&{{\text{Square}}\,{\text{planar}}} \\ {{\text{(C)}}}&{{{{\text{[PtC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{4}}}{\text{]}}}^{{\text{2 - }}}}}&{{\text{Tetrahedral}}} \end{array}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

B and C

Option B (B and C) is correct because [Ni(CO)4] is tetrahedral and [PtCl4]2- is square planar, so the shapes listed are incorrect.
