Question

The type of isomerism shown by the complex $\left[CoC{l}_2\right(en{)}_2]$ is

• A. Ionization isomerism
• B. Coordination isomerism
• C. Geometrical isomerism
• D. Linkage isomerism

Answer 1

The correct option is C Geometrical isomerism

In $\left[CoC{l}_2\right(en{)}_2$], the coordination number of $Co$ is 6 and this compound has an octahedral geometry

As per the given option, the type of isomerism exhibited is geometrical isomerism.
