Which complex exhibits geometrical isomerism?

  1. [Ni(CN)₄]²⁻
  2. [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺
  3. [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂]
  4. [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻

Answer: [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂]

Square planar [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] shows cis-trans isomerism. Tetrahedral/octahedral symmetric complexes don't. Important for stereochemistry in coordination compounds. [[NCERT Chemistry Class 12]]
