Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The total number of geometrical isomers shown by (\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+})complex ion is three.
Reason (R): (\quad\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+})complex ion has an octahedral geometry.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- B(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
- CBoth (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- D(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
Correct answer
B. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
Step-by-step solution
has octahedral geometry with two geometrical isomers.
