Question

[Cr(NH3)2(H2O)2Cl2]+ 

  1. Coordination Number (explain reasoning
  2.  create a model of the cation, and draw its projection formula in your laboratory notebook. 

     

    c.How many geometric isomers can you construct? (Hint: five geometric isomers are possible.) Draw projection formulas for each isomer, one below the other, and label them A-E. Always check to see whether it is identical, a geometric isomer, or an optical isomer. 

     

    d.How many of these isomers can exist as a pair of enantiomers? Draw the projection formulas for the mirror images of A-E, and check for superimposability.
