Chapter 8, Problem 8.44P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible geometric isomers of an octahedral molecule of the class ${\text{AX}}_{\text{5}}\text{Y}$ type have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Geometric isomers are isomer which arises due to different arrangement of atoms or groups around a bond which has restricted rotation.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible geometric isomers of an octahedral molecule of the class ${\text{AX}}_{\text{4}}{\text{Y}}_{\text{2}}$ type have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible geometric isomers of an octahedral molecule of the class ${\text{AX}}_3{\text{Y}}_{\text{3}}$ type have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
