(B)
Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism.
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The total number of geometrical isomers shown by complex ion is three.
Reason (R): complex ion has an octahedral geometry.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: [2024]
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(C)
has two geometrical isomers, cis and trans, and having octahedral geometry as its C.N. = 6.
