Chemistry-Isomerism in Complexes
NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): Geometrical isomerism is possible in octahedral complexes with bidentate ligands. | Reason (R): Structural isomers have different bonds compared to stereoisomers.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option B
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.
