The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the complex \([CoCl_2(en)(N_3)_2]^+\), we will determine the number of geometrical isomers, optical isomers, and the total number of isomers step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Number The cobalt complex has: - 2 chloride ions (\(Cl^-\)) which are monodentate ligands. - 1 ethylenediamine (\(en\)) which is a bidentate ligand. - 2 azide ions (\(N_3^-\)) which are also monodentate ligands. Calculating the total coordination number: - Chloride contributes 2 (2 monodentate ligands). - Ethylenediamine contributes 2 (1 bidentate ligand). - Azide contributes 2 (2 monodentate ligands). Thus, the total coordination number is \(2 + 2 + 2 = 6\). ### Step 2: Determine Geometrical Isomers For coordination complexes with a coordination number of 6, we can have geometrical isomers in cis and trans configurations. 1. **Cis Isomer**: Both \(Cl\) ligands are adjacent to each other. 2. **Trans Isomer**: The \(Cl\) ligands are opposite each other. Thus, we have: - 1 cis isomer - 1 trans isomer Total geometrical isomers = 2. ### Step 3: Determine Optical Isomers Optical isomers are non-superimposable mirror images. 1. **Cis Isomer**: The cis isomer can exist in two forms (D and L) due to its asymmetric arrangement. 2. **Trans Isomer**: The trans isomer can also exist in two forms (D and L) due to its asymmetric arrangement. Thus, for each geometrical isomer: - Cis has 2 optical isomers (D and L). - Trans has 2 optical isomers (D and L). Total optical isomers = 2 (from cis) + 2 (from trans) = 4. ### Step 4: Calculate Total Isomers Now, we can calculate the total number of isomers: - Geometrical isomers = 2 - Optical isomers = 4 Total isomers = Geometrical isomers + Optical isomers = 2 + 4 = 6. ### Final Answer The number of geometrical isomers is 2, the number of optical isomers is 2, and the total number of isomers is 4. ### Summary - Number of geometrical isomers: 2 - Number of optical isomers: 2 - Total number of isomers: 4
