JEE Main On 16 April 2018 Question 12
Question: Which of the following complexes will show geometrical isomerism?
Options:
A) potassium amminetrichloroplatinate (II)
B) potassium tris(oxalato) chormate (III)
C) aquachlorobis (ethylenediamine) cobalt (II) chloride
D) pentaquachlorochromium (III) chloride
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Aquachlorobis (ethylenediamine) cobalt (II) chloride will show geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism. In cis isomer, two ethylene diamine ligands are adjacent and in trans isomer, they are opposite to each other. Aquachlorobis (ethylenediamine) cbalt (II) chloride
