Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The total number of geometrical isomers shown by [Co(en)_2 Cl_2 ]^+complex ion is three Reason (R): [Co(en)_2 Cl_2 ]^+complex ion has an octahedral geometry.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Select the correct option:
A
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
C
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
D
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
$\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}$has octahedral geometry with two geometrical isomers.
