Indicate the complex/complex ion which did not show any geometrical isomerism :
Options
- ACo NH 3 4 Cl 2 +
- BCo NH 3 3 NO 2 3
- CCo ( CN ) 5 ( NC ) 3 -
- DCoCl 2 ( en ) 2
Correct answer
C. Co ( CN ) 5 ( NC ) 3 -
Step-by-step solution
1 Co NH 3 4 Cl 2 + show cis-trans isomerism. 2 CoCl 2 ( en ) 2 show cis-trans isomerism. 3 Co NH 3 3 NO 2 3 show fac-mer isomerism. 4 [ Co ( CN ) 5 ( NC ) ] 3 - can't show geometrical isomerism due to the presence of plane of symmetry.
