Q. The number of geometrical isomers possible for a square planar complex of the type [Mabcd] ${ }^{ n\pm }$ is ' $x$ '. The number of geometrical isomers possible for octahedral complex of the type $\left[ Ma _{4} b _{2}\right]^{n\pm }$ is ' $y$ '. Sum of $x$ and $y$ is ________. $(a, b, c, d$ are monodentate ligands)

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

The square planar complex [Mabcd] $^{n \pm }$ forms three geometric isomers whereas octahedral complex $\left[ Ma _{4} B _{2}\right]^{ n \pm }$ forms two geometric isomers.
