Vedclass · Answer

(C) Optical activity in coordination complexes is observed when the complex lacks a plane of symmetry or a center of inversion (i.e.,it is chiral). $1$. $trans-[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^+$ has a plane of symmetry and is achiral. $2$. $[Cr(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$ is an octahedral complex with identical ligands,possessing multiple planes of symmetry,and is achiral. $3$. $cis-[Co(NH_3)_2(en)_2]^{3+}$ lacks a plane of symmetry and is chiral,thus it shows optical activity. $4$. $trans-[Co(NH_3)_2(en)_2]^{3+}$ has a plane of symmetry and is achiral. Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

Which complex is likely to show optical activity?
