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.
