    Which one of the following complexes shows optical isomerism :- [JEE Main Solved Paper-2016 ]

    A) \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}C{{l}_{2}}]Cl\]

    B) \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C{{l}_{3}}]\]

    C) \[cis[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]Cl\]

    D)  trans\[[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]Cl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Complex \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}C{{l}_{2}}]Cl\]have two G.I. which are optically inactive due to presence of plane of symmetry. Complex \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C{{l}_{3}}]\]also have two optically inactive geometrical isomers due to presence of plane of symmetry. Complex cis \[[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]Cl\] is optically active due to formation of non-super imposable mirror image. trans\[[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]Cl\]Complex trans\[[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]Cl\] is optically inactive. (en = ethylenediamine)
