Question

The number of geometrical isomers of the
complex [Co(NO₂)₃ (NH₃)₃] is
(a) 2 (b) 3
(c) 4 (d) zero

Answer 1

Answer:

2 geometrical isomers are present

Answer 2

(a) 2

Explanation:

The total number of possible geometrical isomers of the complex  [Co(NO₂)₃ (NH₃)₃] is 2.

Isomers are ions or molecules with identical formulas but distinct structures. Isomers do not necessarily share similar properties. Two main forms of isomerism are structural isomerism and stereoisomerism.

Option A is the answer.
