The correct option(s) regarding the complex :-
(en ) is (are)
- A It has two geometrical isomers
- B It will have three geometrical isomers if bidentate 'en' is replaced by two cyanide ligands
- C It is paramagnetic
- D It absorbs light at longer wavelength as compared to
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) It has two geometrical isomers
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
complex is type of have two G.I.

If (en) is replaced by two cyanide ligand, complex will be type of and have 3 G.I.

(iii) \(\left[ Co ( en )\left( NH _3\right)_3\left( H _2 O \right)\right]^{3+}\) have \(d^6\) configuration \(\left(t_{62 g}^6\right)\) on central metal with SFL therefore it is dimagnetic in nature.
Complex have lesser value than therefore complex absorbs longer wavelength for d-d transition

If (en) is replaced by two cyanide ligand, complex will be type of and have 3 G.I.

(iii) \(\left[ Co ( en )\left( NH _3\right)_3\left( H _2 O \right)\right]^{3+}\) have \(d^6\) configuration \(\left(t_{62 g}^6\right)\) on central metal with SFL therefore it is dimagnetic in nature.
Complex have lesser value than therefore complex absorbs longer wavelength for d-d transition
