The type of isomerism shown by the complex [CoCl2(en)2] is (NEET 2018)
A.Coordination isomerism
B.Ionization isomerism
C.Geometrical isomerism✓ Correct
D.Linkage isomerism
Explanation
The type of isomerism which is shown by the complex [CoCl2(en)2] is geometrical isomerism. It shows cis and trans isomerism. In cis form, the two Cl ligands are adjacent to each other and two en ligands are adjacent to each other. In trans form, the two Cl ligands are opposite to each other and two en ligands are opposite to each other.
