Why does stereoisomerism arise in the coordination compounds? |
|
Answer» In the coordination compounds (complexes) the ligands are linked to the central metal atom or ion by coordinate bonds which are directional in nature and hence give rise to the phenomenon of stereoisomerism. In this isomerism, The different stereoisomers have different arrangements of ligands (atoms, molecules or ions) in space around the central metal atom or ion. Hence, They have different physical and chemical properties and give rise to the phenomenon of stereoisomerism. |
