How many of the following can show fac–mer isomerism? [Co(NH₃)₃Cl₃], [Cr(en)₃]³⁺, [Rh(py)₃Br₃], [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂], [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]⁺, [Cr(gly)₃], [Ru(NH₃)₃(CN)₃]⁻

Answer:
4
Solution:

Ma₃b₃ types give fac and mer forms: [Co(NH₃)₃Cl₃], [Rh(py)₃Br₃] and [Ru(NH₃)₃(CN)₃]⁻. [Cr(gly)₃] has unsymmetrical chelates and also shows fac and mer. The others do not. Count = 4.
