Assertion (A) Complexes of

\mathrm{MX}_6

and

\mathrm{MX}_3 \mathrm{L}

type (X and

\mathrm{L}

are unidentate) do not show geometrical isomerism.

Reason (R) Geometrical isomerism is not shown by complexes of coordinate number -6 .

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Option C is correct because complexes of

\mathrm{MX}_6

and

\mathrm{MX}_3 \mathrm{L}

type do not show geometrical isomerism, but the reason that geometrical isomerism is not shown by complexes of coordinate number -6 is false, as some complexes with coordination number 6 do exhibit geometrical isomerism.
