Q. Which of the following complexes does not show geometrical isomerism?

AMUAMU 2016Coordination Compounds

Solution:

Geometrical isomerism is not possible for the complexes with coordination number $2$ and $3$ and tetrahedral complexes with coordination number $4$ because in this case, all the four positions are equivalent. Thus, amongst them, $[Ni(CO_4)]$ will not show geometrical isomerism.
