Interpretation:
The possible isomers for square planar isomer
Concept Introduction:
Isomers:
The compounds with same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of the atom are said to be isomers.
Linkage isomers:
Linkage isomerism occurs with ambidentate ligands that are capable of coordinating in more than one way.
Example:
Hydrate Isomers:
Hydrate isomers results from replacement of a coordinated group by a solvent molecule in this case it is a water molecule.
Coordination Isomers:
Coordination isomerism arises in compounds containing complex anionic and cationic parts. Hence, there are two complex compounds bound together, one with a negative charge and the other with a positive charge. In coordination isomers, the anion and cation complexes of a coordination compound exchange one or more ligands.
Ionization Isomers:
Ionization isomers occur when a ligand is bound to the metal center exchanges places with an anion or neutral molecule that was previously outside the coordination complex.
Geometrical isomers:
If there is restricted rotation in a molecule there arises geometric isomerism. Geometric isomers are also known as Cis- trans isomerism.
- If the two atoms locked in same side of the molecule then it is called as cis isomers.
- If the two atoms locked in opposite side of the molecule then it is called as trans isomers.

- Four different octahedral chromium coordination compounds exist that all have the same oxidation state for chromium and have H2O and Cl as the ligands and counterions. When 1 mole of each of the four compounds is dissolved in water, how many moles of silver chloride will precipitate upon addition of excess AgNO3?arrow_forwardPlatinum(II) forms many complexes, among them those with the following ligands. Give the formula and charge of each complex. (a) two ammonia molecules and one oxalate ion (C2O42-) (b) two ammonia molecules, one thiocyanate ion (SCN-), and one bromide ion (c) one ethylenediamine molecule and two nitrite ionsarrow_forwardTwo different compounds are known with the formula Pd(py)2Cl2, but there is only one compound with the formula Zn(py)2Cl2. The symbol py is for pyridine, a mono-dentate ligand. Explain the differences in the Pd and Zncompounds.arrow_forward
