Select the correct statement for the complex :-

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The complex is of the type [M(AB)a₂c₂], where gly is an unsymmetrical bidentate ligand (AB) and NH₃ and NO₂ are the monodentate ligands a and c. It has 4 geometrical forms and 6 stereoisomers in total. Two of the geometrical forms are optically active, and each exists as an enantiomeric pair. So there are 2 enantiomer pairs, i.e. 4 optically active individual stereoisomers. Hence option (C) is correct.
