The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the number of geometrical isomers for the given complexes, we will analyze each complex one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the complex \([CoCl_2Br_2]^{2-}\) - **Type of complex**: Octahedral - **Ligands**: 2 Chloride (Cl) and 2 Bromide (Br) - **Geometrical isomers**: For octahedral complexes with two pairs of different ligands, we can have cis and trans isomers. - **Possible isomers**: The two Cl and two Br can be arranged in two ways: - **Cis isomer**: Both Cl ligands are adjacent. - **Trans isomer**: Cl ligands are opposite each other. Thus, the number of geometrical isomers for \([CoCl_2Br_2]^{2-}\) is **2**. ### Step 2: Analyze the complex \([Rh(en)_3]^{3+}\) - **Type of complex**: Octahedral - **Ligands**: 3 Ethylenediamine (en) ligands - **Geometrical isomers**: Since ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand, all three ligands are identical. - **Possible isomers**: There are no geometrical isomers possible because all ligands are the same. Thus, the number of geometrical isomers for \([Rh(en)_3]^{3+}\) is **0**. ### Step 3: Analyze the complex \([Cr(en)_2Br_2]^{+}\) - **Type of complex**: Octahedral - **Ligands**: 2 Ethylenediamine (en) and 2 Bromide (Br) - **Geometrical isomers**: Similar to the first complex, we can have cis and trans arrangements. - **Possible isomers**: - **Cis isomer**: Both Br ligands are adjacent. - **Trans isomer**: Br ligands are opposite each other. Thus, the number of geometrical isomers for \([Cr(en)_2Br_2]^{+}\) is **2**. ### Step 4: Analyze the complex \([Pt(en)Cl_2]\) - **Type of complex**: Square planar - **Ligands**: 1 Ethylenediamine (en) and 2 Chloride (Cl) - **Geometrical isomers**: For square planar complexes with two different ligands, we can have: - **Cis isomer**: Both Cl ligands are adjacent. - **Trans isomer**: Cl ligands are opposite each other. Thus, the number of geometrical isomers for \([Pt(en)Cl_2]\) is **2**. ### Final Calculation Now, we sum up the number of geometrical isomers from all complexes: - \([CoCl_2Br_2]^{2-}\): 2 - \([Rh(en)_3]^{3+}\): 0 - \([Cr(en)_2Br_2]^{+}\): 2 - \([Pt(en)Cl_2]\): 2 **Total = 2 + 0 + 2 + 2 = 6** ### Conclusion The sum of the number of geometrical isomers for the given complexes is **6**. ---
