Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The total number of geometrical isomers shown by \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}\)complex ion is three.
Reason (R): \(\quad\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}\)complex ion has an octahedral geometry.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
Solution
$\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}$has octahedral geometry with two geometrical isomers.
