The correct Answer is:
To determine which complex is not expected to exhibit isomerism, we need to analyze the geometry and ligand arrangement of each complex provided in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complexes**: - We have four complexes to analyze: 1. Ni(NH3)4(H2O)2^2+ 2. Pt(NH3)2Cl2 3. Ni(NH3)2Cl2 4. Ni(en)3^2+ (where en = ethylenediamine) 2. **Determine the Oxidation States**: - For Ni(NH3)4(H2O)2^2+: Nickel is in +2 oxidation state (both NH3 and H2O are neutral ligands). - For Pt(NH3)2Cl2: Platinum is also in +2 oxidation state (NH3 is neutral, Cl is -1). - For Ni(NH3)2Cl2: Nickel is in +2 oxidation state (NH3 is neutral, Cl is -1). - For Ni(en)3^2+: Nickel is in +2 oxidation state (en is a neutral bidentate ligand). 3. **Identify the Electron Configuration**: - For Ni^2+: The electron configuration is 3d^8. - For Pt^2+: The electron configuration is 5d^8. 4. **Determine the Geometry**: - Ni(NH3)4(H2O)2: This is an octahedral complex (sp3d2 hybridization). - Pt(NH3)2Cl2: This is a square planar complex (DSP2 hybridization). - Ni(NH3)2Cl2: This is a tetrahedral complex (sp3 hybridization). - Ni(en)3^2+: This is an octahedral complex (due to bidentate ligands). 5. **Analyze Isomerism**: - Octahedral complexes (like Ni(NH3)4(H2O)2 and Ni(en)3^2+) can exhibit geometrical (cis-trans) and optical isomerism. - Square planar complexes (like Pt(NH3)2Cl2) can exhibit geometrical isomerism (cis-trans). - Tetrahedral complexes (like Ni(NH3)2Cl2) do not exhibit geometrical isomerism due to their symmetry. 6. **Conclusion**: - Among the complexes analyzed, **Ni(NH3)2Cl2** is a tetrahedral complex and is not expected to exhibit isomerism. ### Final Answer: **Ni(NH3)2Cl2** is the complex that is not expected to exhibit isomerism.
