Which of the following does not show optical isomerism?
A
B
C
D
( 
ethylenediamine)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Optical isomerism is shown by:
(i) complexes of the type 
i . e ., 
containing one symmetrical bidentate ligand.
(ii) complexes of the type 
, i . e ., 
containing a symmetrical bidentate ligand.
(iii) complexes of the type 
, i . e ., 
. However complexes of the type
show geometrical isomerism, known as fac ‐ mer isomerism.
exhibitsfac‐mer isomerism.
