The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes can exhibit geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze each complex based on the rules for geometrical isomerism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Geometrical Isomerism**: - Geometrical isomerism occurs when there are different spatial arrangements of ligands around a central metal atom. This typically happens in coordination complexes where there are two or more different types of ligands. 2. **Analyzing Each Complex**: - **Complex 1: `[Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]`**: - This complex has 4 identical NH₃ ligands and 2 identical Cl ligands. It can exhibit geometrical isomerism as it can exist in two forms: - **Cis**: where the two Cl ligands are adjacent to each other. - **Trans**: where the two Cl ligands are opposite each other. - **Conclusion**: This complex can exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Complex 2: `[Co(en)₃]Cl₂`**: - Here, all three ligands are ethylenediamine (en), which is a bidentate ligand. Since all the ligands are identical, this complex cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Conclusion**: This complex cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Complex 3: `[Co(en)₂(NO₂)Cl]SCN`**: - This complex has 2 identical en ligands and 2 different ligands (NO₂ and Cl). The two en ligands can be arranged in different ways relative to the NO₂ and Cl ligands: - **Cis**: where NO₂ and Cl are adjacent to each other. - **Trans**: where NO₂ and Cl are opposite each other. - **Conclusion**: This complex can exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Complex 4: `[Co(NH₃)₆][Cr(CN)₆]`**: - In this complex, all ligands around Co are identical (NH₃), and all ligands around Cr are also identical (CN). Since all ligands are the same, this complex cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism. - **Conclusion**: This complex cannot exhibit geometrical isomerism. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - The complexes that can exhibit geometrical isomerism are: - Complex 1: `[Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]` - Complex 3: `[Co(en)₂(NO₂)Cl]SCN` ### Answer: The complexes that can exhibit geometrical isomerism are **Option 1 and Option 3**. ---
