- B \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Br}_2\right] \mathrm{NO}_3\)
- C \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\text { en })_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}\)
- D \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\text { en })_3\right] \mathrm{Cl}_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_3\left(\mathrm{NO}_2\right)_3\right]\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Facial (fac) and Meridional (mer) isomerism is a type of geometric isomerism observed in octahedral complexes of the type \([MA_3B_3]\). In the complex \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_3\left(\mathrm{NO}_2\right)_3\right]\), the central metal ion Co is…
