The correct Answer is:
To determine which type of isomerism is not possible for the given coordination complexes, we will analyze each complex one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first complex `Pt(SCN)₂·3PET₃` - The complex contains thiocyanate (SCN) ligands, which are ambidentate ligands. This means that SCN can coordinate through either the sulfur (S) or the nitrogen (N) atom. - Because of this ambidentate nature, this complex can exhibit **linkage isomerism**. - Therefore, this complex can show linkage isomerism. ### Step 2: Analyze the second complex `CoBr·SO₄·5NH₃` - This complex contains bromide (Br) and sulfate (SO₄) ligands. - The isomerism possible here is **ionization isomerism**, where the bromide ion can be inside the coordination sphere while the sulfate ion is outside, and vice versa. - Thus, this complex can show ionization isomerism. ### Step 3: Analyze the third complex `FeCl₂·6H₂O` - This complex contains chloride (Cl) and water (H₂O) ligands. - It can exhibit **hydrate isomerism** because the number of water molecules can vary inside and outside the coordination sphere. - Therefore, this complex can show hydrate isomerism. ### Step 4: Determine which isomerism is not possible - From the analysis: - The first complex can show linkage isomerism. - The second complex can show ionization isomerism. - The third complex can show hydrate isomerism. - However, none of these complexes can show **optical isomerism**. Optical isomerism requires the presence of a chiral center, which is not present in any of these complexes. ### Conclusion The type of isomerism that is **not possible** for the given complexes is **optical isomerism**. ---
