Why is geometrical isomerism not possible in tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with the central metal ion?
Options
- Abecause the relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are the same with
- BTetrahedral complexes cannot exhibit geometric isomerism.
- CThe ligands do not have geometric isomers.
- DGeometrical isomerism is possible in such complexes.
Correct answer
A. because the relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are the same with
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) because the relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are the same with respect to each other.
