Q. Consider the following reaction:

If reactant has no stereoisomer but product exists in stereoisomeric form, then hybridisation of metal in the product is:

Solution:

If reactant is tetrahedral i.e., hybridised, the no stereoisomer of reactant is possible. However, two optical isomers of product are. possible. If reactant is square planar i.e., , then geometrical isomers of product are possible.
