MCQ
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A homolepitc octahedral complex, formed using monodentate ligands, will not show stereoisomerism.
Statement II : cis- and trans- platin are heteroleptic complexes of Pd .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
  • A
    Both statement I and Statement II are false.
  • B
    Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
  • C
    Both statement I and Statement II are true.
  • Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
(D) Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Homoleptic complex of type $\left[\mathrm{Ma}_{6}\right]$ (Where $\mathrm{a} \Rightarrow$ monodentate ligand) cannot show geometrical as well as optical isomerism.
Cis-platin and trans-platin has formula $\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]$ which is a heteroleptic complex of platinum.
