compound is in cis form

B

compound is in trans form

C

compound is in both (cis and trans) forms

D

can't be predicted

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
to only one possible because all 'b' position are identical.

In the reaction [CoCI_(2)(NH_(3))_(4)]^(o+)rarr[CoCI_(3)(NH_(3))_(3)]+NH_(3) , only one isomer of the complex product is obtained Is the initial complex cis or trans ? .

Four statements for the following reaction given below [CoCl_(2)(NH_(3))_(4)]^(+) to [CoCl_(3)(NH_(3))_(3)]+NH_(3) (P) Only one isomer is produced if the ractant complex ion is a trans isomer (Q) Three isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis isomer (R ) Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is trans isomer (S) Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex is cis isomer The correct statements are :

Statement-1: In the reaction [CoCl_(2)(NH_(3))_(4)]^(+)+Cl^(-) to [CoCl_(3)(NH_(3))_(3)]+NH_(3) , when reactant is in cis-form two isomers of the product are obtained. Statement-2: Third chloride ions replaces an ammonia cis to both chloride ion or trans to one of the chloride ion.

[CoCl_(2)(NH_(3))_(4)]^(+)+Cl^(-) to [CoCl_(3)(NH_(3))_(3)]+NH_(3) . If in this reaction two isomers of the produt are obtained, which is true for the iniital (reactant) complex:

Consider the following reaction and statements: [Co(NH_(3))_(4)Br_(2)]^(+)+Br^(-) to [Co(NH_(3))_(3)Br_(3)]+NH_(3) Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis-isomer Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer Only one isomer is produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer Only one isomer is produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis – isomer The correct statements are
