Solution
The number of geometrical isomers for [Pt(NH3)2Cl2] is two.
Explanation:
[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] has 2 geometrical isomers:
- Cis-isomer: Both Cl ions are adjacent to each other.
- Trans-isomer: The Cl ions are opposite to each other.
These different arrangements occur due to platinum’s square planar geometry.
