In the coordination entity [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3], if all three N atoms of the amine ligands occupy adjacent positions at the corners of an octahedral face, the geometrical isomer formed is known as _______ isomer.(a) cis(b) trans(c) fac(d) merI had been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Asked question is from Isomerism in Coordination Compounds topic in division Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (C) fac

Explanation: Octahedral ENTITIES of the type [MA3B3] form two types of ISOMERS based on WHETHER the same ligand groups occupy adjacent positions on the octahedral face (fac) or positions around the meridian of the OCTAHEDRON (mer).
