Consider the complex ions, trans- ${[Co (en)_{2} {Cl}_{2}]}^{*} (A)$ and $cis - {[Co (en)_{2} {Cl}_{2}]}^{+} (B) .$ The correct statement regarding them is :

Question diagram: Consider the complex ions, trans- Co ( en ) 2 Cl 2 * ( A ) a

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Have Plane of symmetry so will be optically inactive.

Trans-[Co(en) ${{}_{2}{Cl}_{2}]}^{+}$

cis-[Co(en) ${{}_{2}{Cl}_{2}]}^{+} \to$ is optically active without plane of symmetry.
