Coordination Compounds question

2005 · Q105

NEETChemistryCoordination CompoundsMCQ+4 / −1
Which one of the following is expected to exhibit optical isomerism? (en = ethylenediamine)
  1. A
    cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]
  2. B
    trans-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]
  3. C
    cis-[Co(en)2Cl2]+
  4. D
    trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]+
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: C

cis-[Co(en)2Cl2]+ show optical isomerism because it forms a non-superimposable mirror image.
