Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structure of cis-trans isomers of the following complexes has to be drawn.
(a)
Concept Introduction:
A compound that has same molecular formula but different structural formula is said to exhibit isomerism. Co-ordination compounds exhibit cis-trans isomerism which is a type of geometric isomerism.
A cis isomer has two same ligands lying adjacent to each other whereas a trans isomer has two same ligands lying opposite to each other.
(b)
Interpretation:
Structure of cis-trans isomers of the following complexes has to be drawn.
