Total number of geometrical isomers are possible for $[Co (NH_{3})_{3} (H_{2} O)_{2} (NO_{3})]^{2 +}$ is :-

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

The complex is of the type $M a_{3} b_{2} c$ , where $M = C o^{2 +}$ , $a = N H_{3}$ , $b = H_{2} O$ , and $c = N O_{3}^{-}$ . This is an octahedral complex. For $M a_{3} b_{2} c$ , there are 3 possible geometrical isomers. These are two meridional (mer) isomers and one facial (fac) isomer.
