Match List I with List II : List I (Complex) List II (Type of isomerism) A. [ Pt ( NH _3)_2 Cl _2] I. Optical B. [ Co ( en )_3]^ 3+ II. Solvate C. [ Co ( NH _3)_5 NO _2] Cl _2 III. Geometrical D. [ Cr ( H _2 O )_6] Cl _3 IV. Linkage Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
D. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
A. [ Pt ( NH _3)_2 Cl _2] is a square planar complex of the type MA_2B_2. It exhibits geometrical isomerism (cis and trans forms). B. [ Co ( en )_3]^ 3+ is an octahedral complex with three symmetrical bidentate ligands. It lacks a plane of symmetry and exhibits optical isomerism. C. [ Co ( NH _3)_5 NO _2] Cl _2 contains the ambidentate ligand NO _2^-, which can coordinate through either the nitrogen or oxygen atom. It exhibits linkage isomerism. D. [ Cr ( H _2 O )_6] Cl _3 can exchange water molecules with chloride ions to form different hydrate isomers. It exhibits solvate isomerism. Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
