JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry

Number of stereoisomers possible for the complexes, \(\left[\mathrm{CrCl}_3(\mathrm{py})_3\right]\) and \(\left[\mathrm{CrCl}_2(\mathrm{ox})_2\right]^{3-}\) are respectively
( \(\mathrm{py}=\) pyridine, \(\mathrm{ox}=\) oxalate)

  1. A \(3 \& 3\)
  2. B \(2 \& 2\)
  3. C \(2 \& 3\)
  4. D \(1 \& 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \& 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

So total stereo isomer \(=2\) Geometrical isomer \(=2(1\) cis +1 trans \()\) Optical isomer \(=3\) ( 2 optically active +1 optically inactive) Stereoisomer \(=3\)
