The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are true for the complex \([Co(NH_{3})_{4}Br_{2}]NO_{2}\), we need to analyze its structure and properties. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Number and Geometry The complex \([Co(NH_{3})_{4}Br_{2}]NO_{2}\) contains cobalt (Co) as the central metal ion surrounded by four ammonia (NH₃) ligands and two bromide (Br) ligands. The coordination number of cobalt in this complex is 6 (4 from NH₃ and 2 from Br). **Hint:** The coordination number is the total number of ligand donor atoms that are bonded to the central metal ion. ### Step 2: Determine the Geometry With a coordination number of 6, the most common geometry for such complexes is octahedral. **Hint:** Remember that octahedral complexes can exhibit geometrical isomerism due to the different arrangements of ligands around the central metal ion. ### Step 3: Analyze Geometrical Isomerism In an octahedral complex with the formula \([Co(NH_{3})_{4}Br_{2}]\), the two bromide ligands can be arranged in different ways: - **Cis Isomer:** Both bromide ligands are adjacent to each other. - **Trans Isomer:** The bromide ligands are opposite each other. This indicates that the complex can exhibit geometrical isomerism. **Hint:** Geometrical isomers differ in the spatial arrangement of ligands but have the same connectivity. ### Step 4: Check for Optical Isomerism Optical isomerism occurs when a molecule can exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other (enantiomers). For a complex to exhibit optical isomerism, it must lack any planes of symmetry. In the case of \([Co(NH_{3})_{4}Br_{2}]\), due to the presence of two identical bromide ligands and four identical ammonia ligands, the complex has a plane of symmetry. Therefore, it does not exhibit optical isomerism. **Hint:** A complex with a plane of symmetry cannot have optical isomers. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The complex \([Co(NH_{3})_{4}Br_{2}]NO_{2}\) shows geometrical isomerism (due to the arrangement of Br ligands) but does not show optical isomerism (due to the presence of a plane of symmetry). ### Final Answer The true statements regarding the complex \([Co(NH_{3})_{4}Br_{2}]NO_{2}\) are: 1. It shows geometrical isomerism. 2. It does not show optical isomerism.
