Q81 / 180 · NEET 2018 · Chemistry

What is the type of isomerism shown by the complex $[{CoCl}_{2} {(en)}_{2}]$ ?

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

Solution

It shows geometrical isomerism.

Isomerism is the phenomenon in which more than one compounds have the same chemical formula but different chemical structures. Chemical compounds that have identical chemical formulae but differ in properties and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule are called isomers.

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