NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Geometrical isomerism can occur in octahedral complexes of the type [Ma3b3].
Reason (R): In tetrahedral complexes with two different types of unidentate ligands, geometrical isomerism is possible.
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 but (R) is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Geometrical isomerism occurs in octahedral complexes of the type [Ma3b3], but it is not possible in tetrahedral complexes with two different types of unidentate ligands due to symmetrical spatial arrangement.
