JEE Advanced Chemistry Question (2021) — Solution

Question

The total number of possible isomers for  Pt NH 3 4 Cl 2 Br 2  is___.

Options

  1. A. A
  2. B. B
  3. C. C
  4. D. D

Answer

A. A

Step-by-step solution

Pt NH 3 4 Cl 2 Br 2  exhibits both ionisation and Geometrical isomerism : Pt NH 3 4 Cl 2 Br 2 ,  Pt NH 3 4 ClBr BrCl  and  Pt NH 3 4 Br 2 Cl 2  are the ionisation isomers and each isomer exhibits geometrical isomerism. Hence, total number of isomers  = 6 .
