Question

Inorganic compounds can show isomerism or not?

Answer 1

My word they can show isomerism; they can even display chirality....

Explanation:

Take a square planar complex....`[ML_2X_2]`...we could have trans or cis isomers...

Each platinum centre is FOUR coordinate, and the connectivity is the same. Nevertheless `"cis platin"` is chemically and geometrically distinct from `"trans platin"`....i.e. they are isomeric. Greater opportunities for geometric isomerism exist for octahedral complexes. You will have to consult your text for details....
