Find number of optically active complex for .

Answer:
4.00
Solution:

Geometry: Octahedral Co³⁺

Ligands:

NH₃ → monodentate

Br⁻ → monodentate

en (ethylenediamine) → bidentate

C₂O₄²⁻ (oxalate) → bidentate

Two bidentate ligands make the complex chiral, giving Δ and Λ forms.

Total optically active isomers = 4
