As we have learned

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

-

 

 

 

[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^+ is the Ma_4b_2 .. and .. Ma_2b_  type complex


Option 1)

Geometrical isomerism

Option 2)

1) Geometrical Isomerism

We get 2 structures overhere .

1. Cis : same ligands on same side 

2. Trans : same ligands on opposite side .
