Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) B,C,E

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tetrahedral compounds do not show isomerism because the relative position of the unidentate ligand attached to the central atom is the same with respect to each other. Square planar compounds of type Ma2b2 show geometric isomerism. Octahedral compounds of type Ma3b3 show…
