The complex [NiCl4]2- is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons whereas the compound [Ni(CN)4]2- is diamagnetic. Deduce the geometries of the two compounds and explain the observations in terms of ligand field theory. Both complexes are 4-coordinate and so they can either be tetrahedral or square planar
