Inorganic Chemistry

Isomerism is when compounds have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. The complex [Pt(NH₃)₂Br₂] can show geometric isomerism due to different possibilities in the arrangement of ligands around the central metal atom. Generally, square planar and octahedral complexes are capable of exhibiting such isomerism.

We now analyze each option:

Thus, the complexes that can exhibit geometric isomerism similar to [Pt(NH₃)₂Br₂] are:

- When (ammonium nitrite) is heated, it decomposes as: - Hence, nitrogen gas and water vapor are released. - (ammonium nitrate), when heated gently, can also decompose to give: - But in presence of both salts, dominates with major gaseous product as and .

Let us consider the hydrolysis reactions of the given interhalogen compounds: 1. ICl (Iodine monochloride): On hydrolysis: Thus, it forms hypoiodous acid (HIO) — a weak monobasic acid. 2. ClF (Chlorine trifluoride): On hydrolysis: Here, is chloric acid (oxidation state of Cl = +5). 3. BrF (Bromine pentafluoride): On hydrolysis: Here, is bromic acid (oxidation state of Br = +5). Therefore, the correct set of hydrolysis products is: HIO, HClO , and HBrO
