The Cl - Co - Cl bond angle values in a fac- Co NH 3 3 Cl 3 complex is/are:
Options
- A90 ° & 180 °
- B90 °
- C180 °
- D90 ° & 120 °
Correct answer
B. 90 °
Step-by-step solution
In facial isomer, three Cl atoms present on one face of the octahedron. Similarly, three ammonia molecules are present on one face of the octahedron. All 3 same ligands have 90 ° bond angle between them. The Cl - Co - Cl bond angle in above octahedral complex is 90 °
