The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given coordination compounds will yield the maximum number of isomers, we need to analyze each compound based on its ligands and coordination number. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordination Compounds**: - (i) [Co(NH3)6] - (ii) [Co(NH3)4Cl2] - (iii) [Ni(en)3] (where en = ethylenediamine) - (iv) [Cr(HCN)4(SCN)] 2. **Analyze Each Compound for Isomerism**: - **Compound (i): [Co(NH3)6]** - This complex has an octahedral geometry. - It can only exhibit geometrical isomerism (cis/trans) but no optical isomerism since all ligands are identical. - **Total Isomers**: 1 (geometrical only). - **Compound (ii): [Co(NH3)4Cl2]** - This complex also has an octahedral geometry. - It can exhibit geometrical isomerism (cis/trans) due to the presence of two different types of ligands. - It does not exhibit optical isomerism. - **Total Isomers**: 2 (cis and trans). - **Compound (iii): [Ni(en)3]** - This complex has an octahedral geometry with bidentate ligands (en). - It can exhibit optical isomerism due to the non-superimposable mirror images of the en ligands. - **Total Isomers**: 2 (one pair of enantiomers). - **Compound (iv): [Cr(HCN)4(SCN)]** - This complex can exhibit linkage isomerism (due to SCN being able to bond through S or N). - It can also exhibit geometrical isomerism (cis/trans) and optical isomerism for the cis form. - **Total Isomers**: - Linkage isomers: 2 (SCN and NCS) - Geometrical isomers: 2 (cis and trans) - Optical isomers: 1 (only for the cis form) - **Total**: 2 (linkage) + 2 (geometrical) + 1 (optical) = 5 isomers. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all four compounds, the one that yields the maximum number of isomers is **Compound (iv): [Cr(HCN)4(SCN)]** with a total of 5 isomers. ### Final Answer: The compound that gives the maximum number of isomers is **[Cr(HCN)4(SCN)]**.

To determine which of the given coordination compounds will yield the maximum number of isomers, we need to analyze each compound based on its ligands and coordination number. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordination Compounds**: - (i) [Co(NH3)6] - (ii) [Co(NH3)4Cl2] - (iii) [Ni(en)3] (where en = ethylenediamine) ...
