Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Ma3 b3\mathrm{Ma}_3 \mathrm{~b}_3 type complexes show Facial - Meridional isomerism

(i) [Co(NH3)3Cl3]⇒Ma3 b3\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{Cl}_3\right] \Rightarrow \mathrm{Ma}_3 \mathrm{~b}_3

(ii) [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+⇒Ma4 b2\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Ma}_4 \mathrm{~b}_2

(iii) [Co(en)3]3+⇒M(AA)3\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]^{3+} \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}(\mathrm{AA})_3

(iv) [Co(en)2Cl2]+⇒M(AA)2 b2\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+} \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}(\mathrm{AA})_2 \mathrm{~b}_2

a,b,=NH3,Cl−\mathrm{a,b},=\mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}

AA=en\mathrm{AA}=\mathrm{en}
