Question

draw possible geometrical isomers of [Rh(h2o)3cl3] and name them​

Answer 1

Explanation:

$\sf{[Rh(H_{2}O)_{6}Cl_{3}]}$

Calculation of O.N. -

→ x + 0×6 - 1×3 = 0

→ x = +3

Electronic configuration of Rh -

$\sf{[Kr] 4d {}^{8} 5s {}^{1} }$

$\sf{Electronic \: configuration \: of \: Rh {}^{3+} }$

$\sf{[Kr] 4d {}^{6} }$

Orbital diagram -

( Refer to the attachment. )

Calculation of C.N. -

→ 1×3 + 1×3

→ 6

Hybridisation = sp³d²

Then,

$\sf{Geometrical \: isomers \: of \: [Rh(H_{2}O)_{6}Cl_{3}] \: is}$
