Indicate the complex

Question:

Indicate the complex/complex ion which did not show any geometrical isomerism :

  1. $\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{2}(\mathrm{en})_{2}\right]$

  2. $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_{5}(\mathrm{NC})\right]^{3-}$

  3. $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{3}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{3}\right]$

  4. $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{+}$


Correct Option: 2

Solution:

(1) $\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{2}(\mathrm{en})_{2}\right]$ show

Cis-trans isomerism

(2) $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_{5}(\mathrm{NC})\right]^{-3}$ can't

Show G.I.

(3) $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{3}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{3}\right]$

Show fac \& mer isomerism

(4) $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]^{\oplus}$ show cis \& trans isomerism
