Solution:

Here statement 1, 2 and 3 are correct while 4 is incorrect.

(1) Bis-(glycinato) Zinc (II) is optically active

(2) and differ in shapes i.e. tetrahedral and square planar respectively

Here statement 1,2 and 3 are correct while 4 is incorrect.

(1) Bis-(glycinato) Zinc (II) is optically active

(2) and differ in shapes i.e. tetrahedral and square

planar respectively

(3) and have zero magnetic moment

(4) As cis- can show optical activity.
