Which of the following complex will show optical activity ?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
trans-[Co(NH 3 ) 4 Cl 2 ] + has plane of symmetry as well as centre of symmetry. Hence it does not show optical isomerism.
[Cr(H 2 O) 6 ] 3+ has plane of symmetry as well as centre of symmetry. Hence it does not show optical isomerism.
cis-[Co(NH 3 ) 2 (en) 2 ] 3+ lacks one of the symmetry elements.
trans-[Co(NH 3 ) 2 (en) 2 ] 3+ has plane of symmetry as well as centre of symmetry. Hence it does not show optical isomerism.
