Which one of the following complexes is not expected to exhibit isomerism?
Options
- A[ Ni ( NH ₃ )₄ ( H ₂ O )₂ ]²⁺
- B[ Pt ( NH ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ ]
- C[ Ni ( NH ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ ]
- D[ Ni ( en )₃ ]²⁺
Correct answer
C. [ Ni ( NH ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ ]
Step-by-step solution
[ Ni ( NH ₃ )₂ Cl ₂ ] has tetrahedral geometry and thus, does not exhibit isomerism due to presence of symmetry elements.
