Consider the following isomers of [Cr(NH3)2CL4] :
(a) Label the isomers as cis or trans.
(b) Which isomers are identical, and which are different?
(c) Do any of these isomers exist as enantiomers? Explain.
20.23

Predict the crystal field energy-level diagram for a square pyramidal ML5
complex that has two ligands along the +x and +y axes but only one ligand
along the z axis. Your diagram should be intermediate between those for an
octahedral ML6 complex and a square planar ML4 complex.

Imagine two complexes, one tetrahedral and one square planar, in which the
central atom is bonded to four different ligands (shown here in four different
colors). Is either complex chiral? Explain.
