The correct Answer is:
To determine the isomerisms exhibited by the complex ion \([Cr(NH_3)_2(H_2O)_2Cl_2]^+\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Complex The complex consists of chromium (Cr) as the central metal ion surrounded by two ammonia (NH₃) ligands, two water (H₂O) ligands, and two chloride (Cl) ligands. ### Step 2: Determine the Geometry of the Complex The coordination number of chromium in this complex is 6 (since it is surrounded by six ligands). This typically leads to an octahedral geometry. ### Step 3: Analyze Possible Isomers In an octahedral complex, we can have different arrangements of the ligands, leading to two main types of isomerism: 1. **Geometrical Isomerism**: This occurs due to different spatial arrangements of the ligands. In this case, we can have: - **Cis Isomer**: where similar ligands are adjacent to each other. - **Trans Isomer**: where similar ligands are opposite to each other. 2. **Optical Isomerism**: This occurs when a complex can exist in two non-superimposable mirror images (enantiomers). This typically happens in complexes that have no plane of symmetry. ### Step 4: Draw the Isomers - **Cis Isomer**: In this arrangement, the two NH₃ ligands can be adjacent to each other, and the two H₂O ligands can also be adjacent. - **Trans Isomer**: In this arrangement, the two NH₃ ligands are opposite each other, and the two H₂O ligands are also opposite each other. ### Step 5: Determine Optical Isomerism - For the **cis isomer**, it can exhibit optical isomerism because it lacks a plane of symmetry. - The **trans isomer** does not exhibit optical isomerism as it has a plane of symmetry. ### Conclusion The complex \([Cr(NH_3)_2(H_2O)_2Cl_2]^+\) exhibits: - **Geometrical Isomerism** (cis and trans) - **Optical Isomerism** (only for the cis isomer) Thus, the isomerisms exhibited by this complex are geometrical and optical. ### Final Answer The correct answer is that the complex exhibits geometrical and optical isomerism. ---
