NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Geometrical isomerism is not possible in tetrahedral complexes with two different types of unidentate ligands.
Reason (R): In tetrahedral complexes, the spatial arrangement of ligands does not allow for cis-trans isomerism.
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 not possible in tetrahedral complexes with two different types of unidentate ligands because the spatial arrangement does not allow for different isomers like cis and trans, which is explained in Chunk 4.
