Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A homoleptic octahedral complex, formed using monodentate ligands, will not show stereoisomerism.
Statement II: cis- and trans- platin are heteroleptic complexes of Pd.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Homoleptic complex of type [Ma6] (Where 
monodentate ligand) cannot show geometrical as well as optical isomerism.
Cis-platin and trans-platin has formula 
which is a heteroleptic complex of platinum.
