Correct answer: C
We determine the number of geometrical isomers for each complex one by one.
1.
Step 1: Identify geometry
Platinum in such complexes is typically square planar.
So the complex is of type in a square planar arrangement.
Step 2: Geometrical isomers possible
For square planar , two geometrical isomers are possible:
- cis: like ligands adjacent
- trans: like ligands opposite
Hence, number of geometrical isomers = 2.
2.
Step 1: Identify geometry
is tetrahedral.
Step 2: Check geometrical isomerism
In a tetrahedral complex with all four ligands identical, there is only one arrangement.
Hence, number of geometrical isomers = 0.
3.
Step 1: Identify geometry
This is a six-coordinate complex, so it is octahedral.
It is of type .
Step 2: Geometrical isomers possible
For octahedral , two geometrical isomers are possible:
- fac (three identical ligands on one face)
- mer (three identical ligands in a meridional plane)
Hence, number of geometrical isomers = 2.
4.
Step 1: Identify geometry
This is a six-coordinate complex, so it is octahedral.
It is of type .
Step 2: Geometrical isomers possible
For octahedral , two geometrical isomers are possible:
- cis
- trans
Hence, number of geometrical isomers = 2.
Final sequence
Thus the numbers are:
So the correct option is C.
