Chapter 19, Problem 19.66QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Lewis structure of dien and all possible geometric isomers of ${{\text{[Co(dien)}}_{\text{2}}\text{]}}^{\text{3-}}$ has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Geometric isomers:

The compounds, which are having same molecular formula but different in three-dimensional arrangements of atoms or groups are known as geometric isomers.

Enantiomers:

The set of isomers, which relatively mirror images, is known as enantiomers.
