The correct statement on the isomerism associated with the following complex ions. (a) N i H 2 O 5 N H 3 2 + (b) N i H 2 O 4 N H 3 2 2 + and (c) N i H 2 O 3 N H 3 3 2 + is:
Options
- A(a) and (b) show only geometrical isomerism
- B(a) and (b) show geometrical and optical isomerism
- C(b) and (c) show geometrical and optical isomerism
- D(b) and (c) show only geometrical isomerism
Correct answer
D. (b) and (c) show only geometrical isomerism
Step-by-step solution
N i H 2 O 5 N H 3 2 + does not show any isomerism N i H 2 O 4 N H 3 2 2 +   shows cis-trans (geometrical) isomerism N i H 2 O 3 N H 3 3 2 + shows fac-mer isomerism
