Question

Assertion: Complexes of MX6 and MX5L type (X and L are unidentate) do not show geometrical isomerism.

Reason: Geometrical isomerism is not shown by complexes of coordination number 6.

Options

  • Assertion and reason both are true, reason is correct explanation of assertion.

  • Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • Assertion is true, reason is false.

  • Assertion is false, reason is true.

Solution

Assertion is true, reason is false.

Explanation:

Complexes like MX6 and MX5L have symmetrical ligand arrangements, so they don't exhibit geometrical isomerism. However, coordination number 6 complexes can show geometrical isomerism when they have different ligands arranged in various spatial configurations.
