Chapter 22, Problem 22.53QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structure of cis-trans isomers of the following complexes has to be drawn.

(a) $\left[Pd{(N{H}_3)}_{2}C{l}_2\right]$ (b) ${\left[Pd{(N{H}_3)}_{3}Cl\right]}^{+}$ (c) ${\left[Pd{(N{H}_3)}_4\right]}^{2+}$ (d) ${\left[Ru{(N{H}_3)}_{4}B{r}_2\right]}^{+}$

Concept Introduction:

A compound that has same molecular formula but different structural formula is said to exhibit isomerism. Co-ordination compounds exhibit cis-trans isomerism which is a type of geometric isomerism.

A cis isomer has two same ligands lying adjacent to each other whereas a trans isomer has two same ligands lying opposite to each other.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structure of cis-trans isomers of the following complexes has to be drawn.

(a) $\left[Pd{(N{H}_3)}_{2}C{l}_2\right]$ (b) ${\left[Pd{(N{H}_3)}_{3}Cl\right]}^{+}$ (c) ${\left[Pd{(N{H}_3)}_4\right]}^{2+}$ (d) ${\left[Ru{(N{H}_3)}_{4}B{r}_2\right]}^{+}$
