Detailed Solution

  • Tetrahedral compounds do not exhibit isomerism because the unidentate ligands linked to the central atom are in the same relative positions to one another. compounds of type square planar Ma2b2 shows geometric isomerism.
  • Octahedral compounds of type Ma3b3 shows geometric isomerism and of type M(AA)3 optical isomerism is present.
