Consider the following complex compounds:
(i) `[Pt(NH_(3))_(2)(SCN)_(2)]`
(ii) `[Co(NH_(3))_(2)(NO_(2))_(3)]`
(iii) `[Pt(en)Cl_(2)]`
(iv) `[Cr(en)_(2)Br_(2)]^(+)`
(v) `[Rn(en)_(3)]^(3+)`
(vi) `[CoCl_(2)Br_(2)]`
Then calculate sum of total number of geometrical isomers in all above complex compounds.

The correct Answer is:
To calculate the total number of geometrical isomers for the given coordination compounds, we will analyze each complex one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first complex `[Pt(NH₃)₂(SCN)₂]` - This complex has a coordination number of 4 and is square planar. - It can have two geometrical isomers: - **Cis**: Both NH₃ ligands are adjacent. - **Trans**: Both NH₃ ligands are opposite each other. **Total geometrical isomers for (i)**: 2 ### Step 2: Analyze the second complex `[Co(NH₃)₂(NO₂)₃]` - This complex has a coordination number of 6 and is octahedral. - It can also have two geometrical isomers: - **Cis**: Both NH₃ ligands are adjacent. - **Trans**: Both NH₃ ligands are opposite each other. **Total geometrical isomers for (ii)**: 2 ### Step 3: Analyze the third complex `[Pt(en)Cl₂]` - This complex has a coordination number of 4 and is square planar. - It does not have geometrical isomers because the bidentate ligand (en) occupies two coordination sites in a fixed manner. **Total geometrical isomers for (iii)**: 0 ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth complex `[Cr(en)₂Br₂]⁺` - This complex has a coordination number of 6 and is octahedral. - It can have two geometrical isomers: - **Cis**: Both Br ligands are adjacent. - **Trans**: Both Br ligands are opposite each other. **Total geometrical isomers for (iv)**: 2 ### Step 5: Analyze the fifth complex `[Rh(en)₃]³+` - This complex has a coordination number of 6 and is octahedral. - It does not exhibit geometrical isomerism because all three bidentate ligands (en) are identical and can only occupy the coordination sites in a symmetrical manner. **Total geometrical isomers for (v)**: 0 ### Step 6: Analyze the sixth complex `[CoCl₂Br₂]` - This complex has a coordination number of 6 and is octahedral. - It can have three geometrical isomers: - **Cis**: Two Cl ligands and two Br ligands are adjacent. - **Trans**: Two Cl ligands are opposite to each other and two Br ligands are opposite to each other. - **Facial (fac)**: Two Cl ligands and two Br ligands occupy one face of the octahedron. **Total geometrical isomers for (vi)**: 3 ### Step 7: Sum the total number of geometrical isomers Now, we will sum the total geometrical isomers from all complexes: - (i) 2 - (ii) 2 - (iii) 0 - (iv) 2 - (v) 0 - (vi) 3 **Total = 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 3 = 9** ### Final Answer: The total number of geometrical isomers in all the given complex compounds is **9**.
