Q40 / 118 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Coordination Compounds

The possible number of structural and stereo isomers for the complex MBr2Cl2SO4 is

Correct answer: 5

Solution

The compound also shows ionization isomerism. The ionization isomers are
(i) MBr2SO4Cl2
(ii) MCl2SO4Br2
(iii) MBrClSO4BrCl
The complex ion [MBr2Cl2]2+ shows geometrical isomerism.
The geometrical isomers are
(i) cis- MBr2Cl2SO4
(ii) trans- MBr2Cl2SO4
Thus, a total of five (3 structural and 2 geometrical) isomers are formed.

Hence, the correct answer is 5.
