Question

$\left[Pt\left(N{H}_3\right)\left(N{H}_{2}OH\right)\left(py\right)\left(N{O}_2\right)\right]N{O}_3$ has square planar shape and has three geometrical isomer.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$\left[Pt\right(N{H}_3\left)\right(N{H}_{2}OH\left)\right(py\left)\right(N{O}_2\left)\right]N{O}_3$ has a square planar geometry as it has a hybridisation of $ds{p}^2$. Also, it has got three geometrical isomers because it has got four ligands of different types which can be arranged in different possible geometrical arrangements, thus giving various isomers.
