Problem

Complex ions can have stereoisomers, similar to those encountered for organic compounds. The complex ion [Cr(NH3)4F2]+[\text{Cr}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{F}_2]^+, included in the table, can exist as *cis*- and *trans*-isomers. See if you can deduce the difference between these two stereoisomers by drawing possible 3D structures of [Cr(NH3)4F2]+[\text{Cr}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{F}_2]^+.
