Step-by-step explanation
(a) [Co(H2O) Cl(en)2]Cl it shows gemetrical isomerism.
(b) [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2 : This complex is [MA5B] type. It does not show geometrical isomerism.
(c) K[Pt(NH3)Cl3] : Thiscomplex is [MAB3] type. It does not show geometrical isomerism.
(d) K3[Cr(OX)3] : This complex is [M(AA)3] type. It does not show geometrical isomerism.
(b) [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2 : This complex is [MA5B] type. It does not show geometrical isomerism.
(c) K[Pt(NH3)Cl3] : Thiscomplex is [MAB3] type. It does not show geometrical isomerism.
(d) K3[Cr(OX)3] : This complex is [M(AA)3] type. It does not show geometrical isomerism.
