Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The stereoisomers of ${\left[{\text{CoBr}}_2\left(\text{en}\right){\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2\right]}^{+}$ and their names is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The coordination compound that has two same ligands forms cis-trans geometrical isomer. In cis isomer, the same groups are present adjacent to each other in the molecule, whereas in trans isomer, the same groups are present opposite to each other.

To determine: The stereoisomers of ${\left[{\text{CoBr}}_2\left(\text{en}\right){\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_2\right]}^{+}$ and their names.
