MCQ
The one that is not expected to show isomerism is:
  • A
    $\left[ Ni \left( NH _{3}\right)_{4}\left( H _{2} O \right)_{2}\right]^{2+}$
  • $\left[ Ni \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$
  • C
    $\left[ Pt \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$
  • D
    $\left[ Ni ( en )_{3}\right]^{2+}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\left[ Ni \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$
b
$\left[ Ni \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$ is tetrahedral complex, therefore does not show geometrical and optical isomerism.

$\left[ Ni \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$ does not show structural isomerism

$\left[ Ni \left( NH _{3}\right)_{4}\left( H _{2} O \right)_{2}\right]^{2+} \&\left[ Pt \left( NH _{3}\right)_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$ show geometrical isomerism

$\left[ Ni ( en )_{3}\right]^{2+}$ show optical isomerism
