The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds does not show geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze each option based on the criteria for geometrical isomerism in coordination compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Geometrical Isomerism**: - Geometrical isomerism occurs in coordination compounds when there are different arrangements of ligands around the central metal atom. - For geometrical isomerism to be possible, there must be at least two different types of ligands, and at least one of those ligands must be present in a quantity of two or more. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1: Ni(CO)₄** - This compound has only one type of ligand (CO). - Since there are no different types of ligands, it cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Option 2: Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂** - This compound has two types of ligands: NH₃ and Cl. - There are two NH₃ and two Cl ligands, which allows for the possibility of geometrical isomers (cis and trans forms). - **Option 3: Co(NH₃)₂Cl₂** - Similar to option 2, this compound has two types of ligands: NH₃ and Cl. - It can also show geometrical isomerism (cis and trans forms). - **Option 4: Co(NH₃)₃Cl₃** - This compound has two types of ligands: NH₃ and Cl. - It can exhibit geometrical isomerism as well, due to the presence of multiple ligands. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, **Option 1: Ni(CO)₄** does not show geometrical isomerism because it contains only one type of ligand. ### Final Answer: **The compound that does not show geometrical isomerism is Option 1: Ni(CO)₄.**
