AIIMS 2014 Chemistry Isomerism MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Which one amongst of the following isomerism is shown by [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]?
A
Structural
B
Geometrical
C
Optical
D
Conformational
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The correct answer is B) Geometrical isomerism because [Pt(NH3)2Cl2] can exhibit different spatial arrangements of its ligands around the platinum center. In this complex, the two ammonia (NH3) and two chloride (Cl) ligands can be arranged either adjacent to each other (cis) or opposite each other (trans), leading to distinct isomers that have different physical and chemical properties.
