Stereoisomeric olefins, cycloalkanes, etc. which differ in the positions of groups relative to a reference plane: in the cis-isomer the atoms are on the same side, in the trans-isomer they are on opposite sides. An obsolete synonym, for which the usage is strongly discouraged, is geometric isomerism.

Which are the Geometrical isomers of the complex [Cr(NH3)2Cl2(en)]+?Is it one or two?

You have an octahedral complex where two of the adjacent positions are occupied by the ethylenediamine ligand. Let's make these equatorial for a clearer picture. There are only two positions in the r …

The number of geometrical isomers of complex of type [Ma₃b₂c]

First, let's establish that we're all talking about octahedral complexes to eliminate any possible confusion. Fix $\ce{c}$. You can have either $\ce{b}$ trans or $\ce{a}$ trans. If $\ce{b}$ is trans t …
