Question
Why tetrahedral complexes do not exhibit geometrical isomerism.
Solution
In tetrahedral geometry
- All the four ligands are adjacent or equidistant to one another.
- The relative positions of donor atoms of ligands attached to the central metal atom are the same with respect to each other.
- It has a plane of symmetry. Therefore, tetrahedral complexes do not exhibit geometrical isomerism.
