A coordination complex of type MX(2)Y(2)...

A coordination complex of type `MX_(2)Y_(2)` (M-metal ion: X, Y-monodentate lingads), can have either a tetrahedral or a square planar geometry. The maximum number of posible isomers in these two cases are respectively:

A

1 and 2

B

2 and 1

C

1 and 3

D

3 and 2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In tetrahedral all the posiiton are adjacent to one another hence only one isomer is possible
