Question

Which one of the following is expected to exhibit optical isomerism? (en = ethylenediamine) (A) Cis-[R(NH3)2Cl2] (B) Trans - [Co(en)2Cl2]+ (C) Trans-[R(NH3)2Cl2] (D) Cis-[Co(en)2Cl2]+

Cis- [Co(en)2 Cl2 ]+ is able to show the phenomenon of optical isomerism because it can form a superimposable mirror image.

Q. Which one of the following is expected to exhibit optical isomerism? (en = ethylenediamine)

Cis- $[R (N H_{3})_{2} C l_{2}]$

Trans - $[C o (e n)_{2} C l_{2}]^{+}$

Trans- $[R (N H_{3})_{2} C l_{2}]$

Cis- $[C o (e n)_{2} C l_{2}]^{+}$

Cis- $[C o (e n)_{2} C l_{2}]^{+}$ is able to show the phenomenon of optical isomerism because it can form a superimposable mirror image.
