Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A & C

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Compound A is \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right] \mathrm{NO}_2\). It exhibits structural isomerism (ionization isomerism with \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl} \mathrm{NO}_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}\)) and geometrical…
