Detailed Solution

Geometric isomerism is caused by differences in the geometric configuration of the ligands around the central ion. Cis-isomer refers to places where the same kind of ligand is present next to each other.

A trans-isomer is one in which identical ligands are located in places that are in opposition to one another. In coordination complexes with coordination numbers 4 and 6, it occurs frequently.

symmetrical bidentate ligand-containing octahedral complexes of the type M(AA)2X2 like Pt(en)2Cl22+ exhibit geometrical isomerism.
