Solution
Correct Answer:
Only geometrical isomerism
Square planar complexes of type [MA2B2] can exist as cis and trans forms. Hence [Pt(NH3)2Cl2] shows geometrical isomerism. It does not show optical isomerism because these forms are not non-superimposable mirror images.
This easy difficulty chemistry question is from the chapter coordination compounds, covering the topic of isomerism. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
