Vedclass · Answer

(B) The complex $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]$ exhibits both geometrical and optical isomerism. There are two geometrical isomers: $cis$ and $trans$. The $trans$ isomer is optically inactive (achiral). The $cis$ isomer is optically active and exists as a pair of enantiomers ($d$ and $l$ forms). Thus,the total number of isomers is $1$ $(trans)$ + $2$ ($cis$ enantiomers) = $3$.

Total number of isomers possible for the complex $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]$ is
