Assertion : Tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with central metal ion will show geometrical isomerism .
Reason : Geometrical isomerism arises in homoleptic complexes due to different possible geometric arrangement of the ligands .

Options

A. If both Assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
C. If assertion is true but reason is false
D. if both assertion and reason are false

Answer

D

Explanation

Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism because relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are same with respect to each other . This type of isomerism arises in heteroleptic complexes.
