Q49 / 214 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Coordination Compounds

The type of isomerism shown by the complex [CoCl2(en)2] is

  • A
    Ionization isomerism
  • B
    Coordination isomerism
  • Correct answer
    C
    Geometrical isomerism
  • D
    Linkage isomerism

Solution

In [CoCl2(en)2] , Coordination number of Co is 6 and this compound has octahedral geometry.
Figure
As per given option, here the type of isomerism is geometrical isomerism.
It can not show ionization, coordination and linkage isomerisms as it does not fulfill required conditions for these isomerisms.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
