Q31 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2024 (11 May Shift 1) · Chemistry

Which one of the following complex ions has geometrical isomers?

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{Cl})_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right]^{+}$
  • B
    $\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4(\mathrm{en})\right]^{3+}$
  • C
    $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]^{3+}$
  • D
    $\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Br}\right]^{+}$

Solution

Figure
So, $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{Cl})_2,(\mathrm{en})_2\right]^{+}$have cis and trans isomers hence it show geometrical isomersism.

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