Step-by-step solution
Cis-trans isomerism is a type of geometrical isomerism.This type of isomerism occurs when there is a change in spatial arrangements of ligands. Cis and trans are the two terms used for representing the position of identical ligands when they are placed adjacent and opposite (i) CoCl 3 . 4 NH 3 ⇒ Co NH 3 4 Cl 2 Cl , can exhibit cis-trans isomerism. (ii) CoCl 3 . 5 NH 3 ⇒ Co NH 3 5 Cl Cl 2 ,can't exhibit cis-trans isomerism. (iii) CoCl 3 . 6 NH 3 ⇒ Co NH 3 6 Cl 3 ,can't exhibit cis-trans iso
