Why is geometrical isomerism not possible in tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with the central metal ion?

Options

  1. Abecause the relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are the same with
  2. BTetrahedral complexes cannot exhibit geometric isomerism.
  3. CThe ligands do not have geometric isomers.
  4. 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.
