The Cl - Co - Cl bond angle values in a fac- Co NH 3 3 Cl 3 complex is/are:

The Cl-Co-Cl bond angle values in a fac- CoNH33Cl3 complex is/are:
  1. 90° & 180°
  2. 90°
  3. 180°
  4. 90° & 120°

Solution

In facial isomer, three Cl atoms present on one face of the octahedron. Similarly, three ammonia molecules are present on one face of the octahedron. All 3 same ligands have 90° bond angle between them.

The Cl-Co-Cl bond angle in above octahedral complex is 90°
