The complex used as an anti-cancer agent is
mer-[Co(NH3)3Cl3]
cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]
cis-K2[PtCl2Br2]
Na2[CoCl4]
B.
cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]
Cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2] is used as an anti-cancer agent, called as cisplatin and is highly toxic. On injecting, the more reactive Cl groups are lost so the Pt atom bonds to a N atom in guanosine (part of the DNA molecule). Those cells which are undergoing cell division are attacked by cisplatin.
Which of the following does not have optical isomer?
[Co(NH3)3Cl3]
[Co(en)3]Cl3
[Co(en)2Cl2]Cl
[Co(en)(NH3)2Cl2]Cl
Assertion : The [Ni(en)3]Cl2 (en = ethylene diamine) has lower stability than [Ni(NH3)6]Cl5.
Reason : In [Ni(en)3]Cl2 the geometry of Ni is trigonal bipyramidal.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false.
In the following compound, the number of sp-hybridised carbons are
CH2 = C = CH - CN(CH) - C ≡ CH

CO is practically non-polar since
the sigma electron drift from C to O is almost nullified by the pi-electron drift from O to C
the sigma electron drift from O to C is almost nullified by the pi-electron drift from C to O
the bond moment is low
there is a triple bond between C and O
