Assertion (A) Complexes of MX(6) and MX(...

Assertion (A) Complexes of `MX_(6)` and `MX_(5)L` type (X and L are unidentate) do not show geometrical isomerism.
Reason (R) Geometrical isomerism is not shown by complexes of coordination number 6.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Correct explanation. Complexes of the type `MX_(6)` and `MX_(5)L` do not show geometrical isomerism because change of position of ligands gives the same arrangement.
