Question

Consider the following spatial arrangements of the octahedral complex ion `[Co(NH_(3))_(4)CI_(2)]^(o+)`


Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding these structures?
(a) I and II are enantiomers
(b) II and III are cis and trans isomers respectively
(c) III and IV are trans and cis isomers respectively
(d) II and IV have identical structures .

Answer 1

Correct Answer - c
Enantiomers are non-super imposable mirror images Clearly I and II are mirror image but `NOT` super imposabel
II: cis isomer III trans isomer
Ivand II are identical structures
IV Can t be cis isomer so incorrect choice is (c ) .
