Question

Which of the following statements is/are true for [Pt(NH3)(H2O)(Cl)2]?

Options

A.It has diamagnetic character
B.It has square planar geometry
C.It shows geometrical and optical isomerism
D.It shows only geometrical isomerism

Solution

[Pt(NH3)(H2O)(Cl)2] is square planar (dsp2 hybridisation) and diamagnetic on account of the higher CFSE of 5d8 configuration. It does not show optical isomerism due to the presence of mirror plane but exists as cis and trans forms.
