The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following complexes exhibit facial and meridional geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze the coordination number and the arrangement of ligands in the complexes provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Geometrical Isomerism**: - Geometrical isomerism in coordination compounds can occur in octahedral complexes (coordination number 6) with the general formula \( MA_3B_3 \), where \( A \) and \( B \) are different ligands. - In these complexes, we can have two types of isomers: - **Facial (FAC)**: where the same type of ligands occupy adjacent positions. - **Meridional (MER)**: where the same type of ligands occupy positions that form a plane through the metal center. 2. **Identifying the Coordination Number**: - We need to check the coordination number of each complex given in the options. Only complexes with a coordination number of 6 can exhibit facial and meridional isomerism. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: Platinum complex with 4 ligands (3 Cl and 1 NH3). - Coordination number = 4. - **Conclusion**: Does not exhibit facial/meridional isomerism. - **Option B**: Another platinum complex with 4 ligands (2 Cl and 2 NH3). - Coordination number = 4. - **Conclusion**: Does not exhibit facial/meridional isomerism. - **Option C**: Nickel complex \( Ni(CO)_4 \). - Coordination number = 4. - **Conclusion**: Does not exhibit facial/meridional isomerism. - **Option D**: Cobalt complex with 6 ligands (3 NH3 and 3 NO2). - Coordination number = 6 (A3B3 type). - **Conclusion**: Exhibits both facial and meridional isomerism. 4. **Final Answer**: - The only complex that exhibits facial and meridional geometrical isomerism is **Option D**. ### Summary: - **Correct Option**: D (Cobalt complex with 3 NH3 and 3 NO2 ligands).
