Interpretation:
Geometric isomers for
Concept Introduction:
Geometry of coordination compounds: The study of geometry of the coordination compound helps in understanding the physical and chemical property of the compound.
Stereoisomer: The same molecular formula but different with the arrangements of atoms around the metal ion. The Ligands are arranged differently in coordination compounds.
Geometric isomers: stereoisomers that cannot be interconverted without breaking the
Optical isomers: Optical isomers are non-superimposable mirror images.
Plane-polarized light: Light that oscillates in a single plane.

- How many optical and/or geometric isomers does [CoCl2(en)2]+ have?arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds can exhibit cis-trans isomerism? [Co(H2O)4Cl2]+ [Co(H2O)5Cl]2+ [Co(NH3)6]3+ [Co(H2O)3Cl3]arrow_forwardDraw the structures of the four geometrical isomers of [Co(NH3)2(en)BrCl]+. Two of these are optically active. Identify these, and draw the structures of their optical isomers.arrow_forward
- What chemical tests would you use to distinguish between (a) [Co(NH3)5 Br] [SO4] and [Co(NH3) 5 (SO4)] Br, and (b) [CrCl₂ (OH₂)4] Cl-2H₂O and [CrCl(OH₂)5]Cl₂ H₂O? (c) What is the relationship between these pairs of compounds? (d) What isomers are possible for [CrCl₂ (OH₂)4]?arrow_forward[Co(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + 4 Cl-(aq )⇆ [CoCl4]2-(aq) + 6 H2O Explain why the addition of water changes the equilibrium position even though the concentration of water is essentially constant and normally not included in the equilibrium constant expression. What are two functions that water performs in this reaction?arrow_forwardWhich of the following can exhibit cis-trans isomerism?
