No isomers are possible with any of these examples.
Explanation:
- The silver ammine complex is linear, and cannot support isomerism. 2. 4. Likewise
#[Co(NH_3)_5NO_2]^(2+)# , and#[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]^(2+)# , are octahedral (#[ML_5X]# ) with no isomerism possible. 3. A square planar platinum(II) complex, i.e.#ML_2X_2# , would normally support#cis# #/# #trans# isomerism, however, here the ligand is ethylenediamine, a chelating ligand that must coordinate in a#cis# fashion, so only the#cis# isomer is possible.
