Assertion : Tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with central metal ion will show geometrical isomerism
Assertion : Tetrahedral complexes having two different types of unidentate ligands coordinated with central metal ion will show geometrical isomerism .
Reason : Geometrical isomerism arises in homoleptic complexes due to different possible geometric arrangement of the ligands .

Correct Answer - D
Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism because relative positions of the unidentate ligands attached to the central metal atom are same with respect to each other . This type of isomerism arises in heteroleptic complexes.
