Vedclass · Answer

(D) Optical isomerism is shown by complexes that are chiral,meaning they do not have a plane of symmetry or a center of inversion.In the case of octahedral complexes of the type $[M(AA)_2X_2]$,the $cis$-isomer is chiral and exists as a pair of enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images).The $trans$-isomer,however,has a plane of symmetry and is achiral.Therefore,$cis-[Co(en)_2Cl_2]Cl$ shows optical isomerism.

Which one of the following complexes shows optical isomerism? $(en = \text{ethylenediamine})$
