The complex [Zn(NH3)2Cl2]^2+ does not exhibit cis-trans isomerism. The geometry of this complex must be .A) trigonal bipyramidalB) tetrahedralC) octahedralD) square planarE) either tetrahedral or square planar

B) tetrahedral

Explanation:

From the information:

The given complex is . In this complex, the number of ligands attached to the central metal atom Zn is 4. This, in turn, affects the coordination number of the complex to be 4. For a coordination number with 4, the likely geometry can either be tetrahedral or square planar, and cis-trans isomerism only occurs in a square planar geometry.

But, from the question, we are informed that the complex does not exhibit cis-trans isomerism, therefore the complex must be tetrahedral.

the law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products. because atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction, there must be the same number of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms in both the reactants and products

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
