Question

Which of the following is true about the complex $\left[PtC{l}_2\right(N{H}_3\left)\right(H_{2}O\left)\right]$?
[Atomic no. of Pt = 78]

• A. It is a tetrahedral complex
• B. The hybridization state of Pt(II) is $s{p}^3$
• C. It can show hydrate isomerism
• D. It will have two geometrical isomeric forms, cis and trans

Answer 1

The correct option is D It will have two geometrical isomeric forms, cis and trans

Pt(II) has $5d^8$ configuration and it forms square planar complexes which are diamagnetic. $\left[PtC{l}_2\right(N{H}_3\left)\right(H_{2}O\left)\right]$ will show geometrical isomerism.
