cis-$[CrCl_2(ox)_2]^{3-}$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The complex $[CrCl_2(ox)_2]^{3-}$ is of the type $[M(AA)_2b_2]^{n\pm}$.The $cis$-isomer is chiral (optically active) because it lacks a plane of symmetry.The $trans$-isomer is optically inactive due to the presence of a plane of symmetry.$[Zn(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$ has a tetrahedral geometry and possesses a plane of symmetry,making it optically inactive.Therefore,$cis-[CrCl_2(ox)_2]^{3-}$ is chiral.

Out of the following coordination entities,which is chiral (optically active)?
