Q83 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 2) · Chemistry

Complex $[C o {(e n)}_{2} C l_{2}] C l$ has ........ number of possible isomers. (en = ethylenediamine)

A
2
B
1
Correct answer
C
3
D
4

Solution

[C o {(e n)}_{2} C l_{2}] C l

Possible isomers

(i) Geometrical isomers

(ii) In trans form plane of symmetry present, so trans form is optically inactive but cis is optically active.

Total number of stereoisomer = 2 + 1 = 3

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
