Question

The platinum-chlorine distance has been found to be 2.32 $A^{\circ }$ in several crystalline compounds. This value applies to both of the compounds shown in the figure.

Thus, $A$ is _______ .

• A. Cis - isomer
• B. Trans - isomer
• C. Chiral isomer
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Trans - isomer

Option (B) is correct.

$A$ is $trans$-isomer.

If the two sam groups lie on opposite sides diagonally, then the isomer is a trans isomer.
