AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of identifying the isomeric forms A, B, and C of the compound `Co(en)_(2)(NO_(2))_(2)Cl`, we will analyze the given information step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Coordination Compound The compound `Co(en)_(2)(NO_(2))_(2)Cl` consists of cobalt (Co) as the central metal ion, ethylenediamine (en) as a bidentate ligand, two nitro (NO2) ligands, and one chloride (Cl) ligand. The coordination number of cobalt in this case is 6. ### Step 2: Analyzing Isomer A - **Properties**: A does not react with AgNO3 or en and is optically inactive. - **Structure**: Since it does not react with AgNO3, the chloride must be outside the coordination sphere. The nitro groups are likely in a trans configuration, leading to a symmetrical structure. ...
