NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Geometrical isomerism is possible in octahedral complexes with bidentate ligands.
Reason (R): Structural isomers have different bonds compared to stereoisomers.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Geometrical isomerism is possible in octahedral complexes with bidentate ligands (Chunk 3), but structural isomers differ in bonds while stereoisomers differ in spatial arrangement (Chunk 1). Hence, R is not the correct explanation of A.
