Octahedral complexes of the type [.MA4B2].,[.MA2B4].,[.MA3B3]. exhibit geometrical isomerism , they can have identical ligands at cis/trans positions.

Q. The given octahedral complexes have $d^{2} s p^{3} or s p^{3} d^{2}$ hybridization, which one of the following will not show geometric isomerism ( if A and B are monodentate ligands)?

$[M A_{5} B]$

$[M A_{3} B_{3}]$

$[M A_{2} B_{4}]$

$[M A_{4} B_{2}]$

Octahedral complexes of the type $[M A_{4} B_{2}], [M A_{2} B_{4}], [M A_{3} B_{3}]$ exhibit geometrical isomerism , they can have identical ligands at cis/trans positions.
