Vedclass · Answer

(A) The complex $[Co(dien)Cl_3]$ contains a tridentate ligand,diethylenetriamine $(dien)$.This complex exists in two geometrical isomeric forms: $fac$ (facial) and $mer$ (meridional) isomers.In the $fac$-isomer,the three donor nitrogen atoms of the $dien$ ligand and the three $Cl^-$ ions occupy the corners of the same face of the octahedron.In the $mer$-isomer,the three donor nitrogen atoms of the $dien$ ligand and the three $Cl^-$ ions are arranged in a meridional plane.Therefore,the total number of isomers is $2$.

The number of isomers of $[Co(dien)Cl_3]$ is
