JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 8th April Evening Shift - No. 15)
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A homoleptic octahedral complex, formed using monodentate ligands, will not show stereoisomerism.
Statement II: cis- and trans- platin are heteroleptic complexes of Pd.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation
Homoleptic complex of type $\left[\mathrm{Ma}_6\right]$ (Where $\mathrm{a} \Rightarrow$ monodentate ligand) cannot show geometrical as well as optical isomerism.
Cis-platin and trans-platin has formula $\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]$ which is a heteroleptic complex of platinum.
