Vedclass · Answer

(A) The given structures represent the $cis$ and $trans$ forms of a coordination complex with the general formula $[M(en)_2A_2]$.In the first structure,the two $A$ ligands are on the same side (cis-position),while in the second structure,the two $A$ ligands are on opposite sides (trans-position).Since these structures differ in the spatial arrangement of ligands around the central metal atom,they are known as geometrical isomers.
