Co 27 2+-1s22s22p63s23p63d74s0

As Cl-is weak field ligand so no pairing up. Hence it is sp3 hybridized giving tetrahedral geometry.

Fe2+-1 s22 s22p63 s23p63 d64 s8

Question Image

 

 

Due to Cl-, back pairing is not observed so it will be sp3 hybridized giving tetrahedral geometry.

Ni2+-1s22s22p63s23p63d84s0

Question Image

 

 

Because weak ligand, back pairing is not observed so it will be sp3 i.e. tetrahedral geometry. 

All the complexes of Pt2+ are square planar including those with weak field ligand such as halide ions thus (4) is correct.
