On treatment of PtNH342+ with concentrated HCl, two compounds (I) and (II) having the same formula, PtNH32Cl2 are obtained, (I) can be converted into (II) by boiling with dilute HCl. A solution of (I) reacts with oxalic acid to form PtNH32C2O4 whereas (II) does not react. Point out the correct statement of the following.

Detailed Solution
Chelate ligands i.e. oxalato being too small to span the transpositions and thus prefer to occupy the cis-position. So (I) is cis and (II) is trans. Platinum is in +2 oxidation state with 5d8 valence shell electron configuration. This configuration has higher CFSE and thus favours square planar geometry.
