Q. Why is geometrical isomerism not possible in tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with the central metal ion ?

Q. Assertion :Tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with central metal ion will show geometrical isomerism. Reason: Geometrical isomerism arises in homoleptic complexes due to different possible geometric arrangement of the ligands.

Q. Assertion :Complexes of

M X_{5} L

type (X and L are unidentate) do not show geometrical isomerism. Reason: Geometrical isomerism is not shown by complexes of coordination number
