Which of the following complexes will show geometrical isomerism?

Apotassium amminetrichloroplatinate (II)
Bpotassium tris(oxalato) chromate (III)
Caquachlorobis (ethylenediamine) cobalt (II) chloride
Correct Answer
Dpentaquachlorochromium (III) chloride

Solution

Aquachlorobis (ethylenediamine) cobalt (II) chloride will show geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism. In cis isomer, two ethylene diamine ligands are adjacent and in trans isomer, they are opposite to each other.
