A reaction of cobalt(III) chloride and ethylenediamine in a \[1:2\] mole ratio generates two isomeric products A (violet coloured) and B (green coloured). A can show optical activity, but, B is optically inactive. What type of isomers does A and B represent?

A) Geometrical isomers

B) Coordination isomers

C) Linkage isomers    

D)  lonisation isomers

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

Cobalt(III) chloride on reaction with ethylenediemine in ratio 1 : 22 isomeric products complexes A and B.
