Chapter 6, Problem 6.51AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fact that the compound (H3N)2Pt(Cl)2 has two stereoisomers with different physical properties could make possible to choose between the tetrahedral and square planar arrangements of these four groups around the platinum atom is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.
