Chapter 19, Problem 35E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The geometrical isomers of ${{\text{[Co(C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}{\text{)}}_{\text{2}}{{\text{(H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O)}}_{\text{2}}\text{]}}^{\text{-}}$ complex ion need to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomer of coordination complexes or molecules have same structural formula but different arrangement of bonded atoms or group in 3-D space.

Geometrical isomers are the type of stereoisomers which can be defined as the complexes or molecules which have same structural formula but different orientation of bonded ligands in the plane. They are two types; in trans-isomer, similar ligands are placed in opposite direction whereas in cis-isomer same ligands are placed in same direction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The geometrical isomers of ${{\text{[Pt(NH}}_3{\text{)}}_4{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}\text{]}}^{2+}$ complex ion needs to be determined.
