Zncl2(nh3)2 isomerism
Answer
No isomerism
Explanation
Solution
The complex ZnCl2(NH3)2 has a coordination number of 4. Since Zn2+ is a d10 ion, it forms a tetrahedral complex. In a tetrahedral geometry, all ligand positions are equivalent, preventing geometric isomerism (cis-trans). Furthermore, tetrahedral MA2B2 complexes possess planes of symmetry, making them achiral and thus not exhibiting optical isomerism. Other types of isomerism are also not applicable. Therefore, ZnCl2(NH3)2 does not exhibit isomerism.
