The geometry of a coordination compound with a coordination number of 4 is

▸ tetrahedral, in order to minimize repulsions between the ligands.

▸ octahedral, since there are two different positions possible for each ligand.

▸ square planar, to allow room for the counterion because the ligands take up so much space.

▸ linear, since there are two ligands on each side of the transition metal.

▸ tetrahedral or square planar, but too difficult to predict based on the information given.
