The octahedral complex/complex ion which shows both facial and meridional isomers is
Options
- Atriglycinato cobalt (III)
- Btris (ethylene diamine) cobalt (III)
- Cdichloro diglycinato cobalt (III)
- Dtrioxalate cobaltate (III)
Correct answer
C. dichloro diglycinato cobalt (III)
Step-by-step solution
Complexes of the type M a a 2 a 2 show geometrical or fac-mer isomerism. (where, aa = bidentate ligand and a is monodentate ligand.) Among the given, dichlorodiglycinato cobalt (III), I.e., C o C l 2 g l y 2 is such salt, so it will show fac and mer isomerism.
