Indicate the complex ion which shows geometrical isomerism :

A

`[Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2]^+`

B

`[Pt(NH_3)_3Cl]`

C

`[Co(NH_3)_6]^(3+)`

D

`[Co(CN)_5(NC)]^(3-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`[Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2]^+` shows geometrical isomerism because it is a `MA_4B_2` type coordination compound which contains two set of equivalent ligands, four `H_2O` and 2Cl
Hence, the possible geometrical isomers are
