Choose the incorrect statement from the following.
- A A tetrahedral complex of the type \([\mathrm{Ma}_2 \mathrm{b}_2]\) does not show geometrical isomerism
- B In a coordination entity of the type \([\mathrm{Ma} 2(\mathrm{bb})_2]^{2+}\) only the cis-isomer is optically active
- C Coordination entities of the type \([\mathrm{Ma}_3 \mathrm{b}_3]\) do not exhibit geometrical isomerism
- D Square planar complex  of the type [Mabcd] has 3 possible geometrical isomers
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Coordination entities of the type \([\mathrm{Ma}_3 \mathrm{b}_3]\) do not exhibit geometrical isomerism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a tetrahedral complex of the type \([Ma_2b_2]\), all positions are equivalent relative to each other, meaning there is no distinction between cis and trans positions. Thus, it does not show geometrical isomerism. This statement is correct. For a coordination entity of the…
