A reaction of cobalt (III) chloride and ethylenediamine in a 1:2 mole ratio generates two isomeric poducts A (voilet coloured) and B (green coloured) A can show optical activity but B optically inactive. what type of isomers does A and B represent?
Ionisation isomers
Coordination isomers
Geometrical isomers
Linkage isomers
Geometrical Isomers -
This is due to the difference in relative position of the ligands attached to the central metal atom with respect to each other
-
As we have learned in isomerism when one is optically active and one is optically inactive A and B are geometrical isomers .
Ionisation isomers
Option 2)Coordination isomers
Option 3)Geometrical isomers
Option 4)Linkage isomers
