Question

Which one of the following complexes can exhibit geometrical isomerism? Which one of the following complexes can exhibit geometrical isomerism? [Cu(NH3)4]2+ (square planar) [Zn(NH3)2Cl2] (tetrahedral) [Cu(NH3)5Cl]2+ (octahedral) [Pt(NH3)2Cl2] (square planar) All of the above can exhibit geometrical isomerism.

Answer 1

Answer:

$[Pt(NH_{3}_{2})Cl_{2}]$ shows geometrical isomerism.

Explanation:

Geometrical isomerism:

"Molecules having same molecular formula but the but difference in the arrangement of atoms."

Cis and trans isomers are called geometrical isomers.

Among the given , $[Pt(NH_{3}_{2})Cl_{2}]$ shows geometrical isomerism.

The cis and trans forms of the $[Pt(NH_{3}_{2})Cl_{2}]$ are as follows.
