Which one of the following has an optical isomer? (en = ethylenediamine)
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. : This is an octahedral complex of the type . It lacks any plane of symmetry and exists as a pair of non-superimposable mirror images (d and l forms). It is optically active.2. : Tetrahedral complexes of Zn with unsymmetrical ligands might be chiral, but here with two , there is a plane of symmetry.3. : Has a plane of symmetry.4. : Tetrahedral, has a plane of symmetry.
