Vedclass · Answer

(C) For a metal complex to exhibit optical activity,it must be chiral,meaning it should not possess a plane of symmetry or a center of inversion.$1$. Complexes of the type $[MA_4X_2]$ (both cis and trans) possess a plane of symmetry and are therefore optically inactive.$2$. In the case of $[M(AA)_2X_2]$ complexes:- The $trans$ isomer has a plane of symmetry and is optically inactive.- The $cis$ isomer lacks a plane of symmetry and exists as a pair of enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images),thus exhibiting optical activity.Therefore,the correct option is $cis-[M(AA)_2X_2]$.

Which among the following metal complexes exhibits optical activity? ($AA$ = bidentate ligand; $A, X$ = monodentate ligands)
