Q. Type(s) of isomerism shown by the complex $\left[Co \left(en\right)_{2} \left(Cl\right)_{2}\right]Br \, $ is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

$\left[\right.Co\left(en\right)_{2}Cl_{2}\left]\right.Br\overset{ \text{Ionisation} }{ \rightarrow }\left[\right.Co\left(en\right)_{2}ClBr\left]\right.Cl$
Solution
cis-isomer is optically active. Optical isomerism occurs when a molecule is not superimposable with its mirror image. Structural isomers have the same chemical composition but the bonds are different.
