Medium MCQ +4 / -1

Geometrical isomerism is possible in:

  1. A [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺
  2. B [CoCl₂(en)₂]⁺
  3. C [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺
  4. D [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]³⁺ Correct answer

Solution

[Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]³⁺ is octahedral with two different types of ligands — can show cis/trans (geometrical) isomerism. Others are too symmetric.
