Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryCoordination Compounds
The compound(s) that exhibit(s) geometrical isomerism or optical isomerism or both is(are) :
Options
- A[ Ni ( en ) Br ₂ ]
- B[ Pt ( en )₃ ] Cl ₄
- CK ₂ [ NiCl ₂ Br ₂ ]
- D[ Pt ( NH ₃ )₂( CN )₂ ]
Correct answer
D. [ Pt ( NH ₃ )₂( CN )₂ ]
Step-by-step solution
(A) [ Ni ( en ) Br ₂ ] : exists only in one form. (B) [ Pt ( en )₃ ] Cl ₄ : (C) [ NiCl ₂ Br ₂ ]²⁻= tetrahedral, no, GI, no optical isomerism (D) [ Pt ( NH ₃ )₂( CN )₂ ]: Pt is in +2 oxidation state having 5 ~d ^8 configuration. Hence the hybridisation of complex is dsp ^2 and geometry is square planar.
