Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The geometric and optical isomer structures for the given complex ion need to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Geometry of coordination compounds: The study of geometry of the coordination compound helps in understanding the physical and chemical property of the compound.
Stereoisomers have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms around the metal atom or ion.
Geometric isomers are stereoisomers that cannot be interconverted without breaking the
Optical isomers are non-superimposable mirror images.
While drawing the geometric and optical isomers, the bonding of neutral ligands towards the central metal atom has to be indicated by the downward arrows whereas the bonding of non-neutral ligands can be mentioned by the simple solid lines.
