Open in App

Solution

In octahedral $[C o C l_{4} (N H_{3})_{2}]^{-}$ , all the ligand are monodentate. The two $N H_{3}$ ligands can be arranged either adjacent to or opposite to each other to form cis and trans isomers respectively, making it a total of two possible isomers.
Hence, the answer is 2.
