Options:
Answer:
Solution:
(A) P, Q, S: is an octahedral complex exhibiting facial/meridional geometrical isomerism (P), contains ambidentate NO₂⁻ showing linkage isomerism (Q), and Co³⁺ (, strong field) is diamagnetic (S).
(B) P, Q, T: is an octahedral complex showing cis/trans geometrical isomerism (P), contains ambidentate CN⁻ showing linkage isomerism (Q), and Ni²⁺ () has 2 unpaired electrons giving B.M. (T).
(C) P, Q, R, S: is an octahedral complex that exhibits geometrical (P), linkage (Q), and optical isomerism (R), while Pt⁴⁺ (, low spin) is diamagnetic (S).
(D) R, S: is a tetrahedral complex with unsymmetrical bidentate ligands, which lacks a plane of symmetry showing optical isomerism (R), and Zn²⁺ () is diamagnetic (S).
