The correct Answer is:
To determine which complex will have six isomers, we need to analyze the types of coordination complexes and their isomerism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Isomerism in Coordination Compounds**: - Coordination compounds can exhibit two main types of isomerism: geometrical (cis-trans) and optical isomerism. - The number of isomers can be predicted based on the coordination number and the types of ligands present in the complex. 2. **Identifying Complex Types**: - The complexes that typically show six isomers are of the type MA2B2C2, where M is the metal center, and A, B, and C are different types of ligands. - In this case, we need to find a complex that fits this formula. 3. **Analyzing the Given Options**: - Look at each option provided in the question and determine if they fit the MA2B2C2 type. - For each complex, check if they can exhibit geometrical isomers (cis-trans) and optical isomers. 4. **Evaluating Each Complex**: - **Option 1**: If it is of type MA2B2C2 but contains a bidentate ligand (like ethylenediamine), it may not show six isomers. - **Option 2**: If it is a complex with two bidentate ligands and two monodentate ligands, it can potentially show six isomers. - **Option 3**: If it is a complex that does not fit the MA2B2C2 type, it will not show six isomers. - **Option 4**: Similar to Option 3, if it does not fit the required structure, it will not show six isomers. 5. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating the options, the correct answer is the complex that fits the MA2B2C2 type and can exhibit six isomers, which is **Option 2**.
