How many geometrical isomers are possible in the following corrdination entities?
(i). `[Cr(C_2O_4)_3]^(3-)`
(ii). `[Co(NH_3)_3Cl_3]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) `[Cr(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]^(3-)implies` No geometrical isomers are possible in this coordination entity
(ii) `[Co(NH_(3))_(3)Cl_(3)]implies` Two geometical isomers are possible (fcc and mer) in this coordination entity
