Chapter 23, Problem 72AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

An explanation corresponding to the trans form of the given complex, $\left[\text{Pt}\left(\text{en}\right){\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}\right]$ not being known.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

The more likely complex to form $\text{trans-}\left[\text{Pt}\left(\text{en}\right)\right]{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ among $\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ and $\text{en}$

$\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ .
