Why is geometrical isomerism not possibl...

Why is geometrical isomerism not possible in tetrahedral compounds having two different types of unidentate ligands with the central metal ion ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism due to the same relative position of the ligands attached do central metal atom w.r.t each other.
