Select the correct statements : (i) number of stereo isomers is equal to number of geometrical isomers (ii) is optically active compound (iii) cis- is chiral complex
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Statement (i) is correct: The complex ⁺ is of the octahedral type, which has 2 geometrical isomers (cis and trans). Since both are symmetrical and achiral, the total number of stereoisomers remains equal to 2.
Statement (ii) is correct: is a tetrahedral complex with unsymmetrical bidentate ligands ( type) that lacks a plane of symmetry, making it chiral and optically active.
Statement (iii) is correct: The complex ³⁻ belongs to the octahedral type, which lacks a plane of symmetry and exists as a pair of non-superimposable mirror images (chiral).
