Question diagram: Which one of the following complexes shows optical isomerism

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

[Co(NH3)3Cl3] shows two geometrical isomers and both can't show optical isomerism due to presence of plane of symmetry.



cis Coen2Cl2Cl shows optical isomerism




trans  Coen2Cl2Cl forms identical mirror image due to presence of plane of symmetry.


[Co(NH3)4Cl2] shows geometrical isomerism.
