Chemistry-Isomerism in Complexes
NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
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.
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 but (R) is true.
Correct Answer
Option C
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.
