Which of the following ions are optically active?


Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
I is trans form which has centre of symmetry as well as plane of symmetry ; so optically inactive
II is cis form which lacks centre of symmetry as well as plane of symmetry ; so optically active
(II) and (III) lack symmetry elements ; so both are optically active.
IV is trans form which has centre of symmetry as well as plane of symmetry ; so optically inactive
