Question
Chemistry Question on Isomerism in Coordination Compounds
The two optical isomers given below, namely, :
A
enantiomers
B
geometrical isomers
C
diastereomers
D
structural isomers
Answer
diastereomers
Explanation
Solution
(i) Enantiomers are non superimposable mirror images of each other.
(ii) Diastereomers can't be related as non super imposable mirror images of each other.
(iii) Geometrical isomers have atleast one C−C.
(iv) Structural isomers have same molecular formula but different structures,
∵ They are not related as super imposable mirror images of each other. ∴ They are diastereomers.
