10. Out of the following which will NOT show geometrical isomerism?
(A) (B) (C) (D)
Ch

Ans:-(B)
Solution:-In complexes with coordination s number 4, geometrical isomerism is shown by complex with
formula Ma2b2. Hence [Pt(NH3)2(H2O)2]+2 and [Co (en)2Cl 2] Cl will show geometrical isomerism. In
octahedral complex with coordination s number 6, complexes of the types Ma6 and Ma2b do not show
geometrical isomerism while the other types shown show such isomerism . So [Cr(NH3)5 Cl]Cl2 being of
types Ma5b will not show geometric isomerism s.
