ChemistrySingle correct+4 / -1Question 49 of 90

The correct statement on the isomerism associated with the following complex ions,

(a) $\ce{[Ni(H2O)5NH3]^2+}$ , (b) $\ce{[Ni(H2O)4(NH3)2]^2+}$ and (c) $\ce{[Ni(H2O)3(NH3)3]^2+}$ is :

(a) and (b) show only geometrical isomerism

(a) and (b) show geometrical and optical isomerism

(b) and (c) show geometrical and optical isomerism

(b) and (c) show only geometrical isomerism

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

None of these is chiral, so (b) and (c) show only geometrical isomerism.
