with the two B ligands at top and right, at top and front, and at top and back. She claims the complex has three isomers. What is the mistake?
All three drawings show the cis isomer, turned in space, so there are two isomers: cis and trans
The drawings show a cis, a fac and a mer isomer
Two of the drawings show the trans isomer
The student is right, and there are three isomers
