    Which of the following is not tetrahedral?

    A)  \[BF_{4}^{-}\]             

    B)  \[NH_{4}^{+}\]

    C)  \[CO_{3}^{2-}\]          

    D)  \[SO_{4}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     In\[CO_{3}^{2-}\]ion, the C-atom undergoes\[s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridisation. It has triangular planar structure while\[BF_{4}^{-},NH_{4}^{+}\]and\[SO_{4}^{2-}\]have tetrahedral structure.
