Identify the number of complexes that are optically active
$$
\begin{aligned}
& {\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]^{3+} ;\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+} ;} \\
& {\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right] ;\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3\left(\mathrm{NO}_2\right)_3\right]}
\end{aligned}
$$
- A0
- B1
- Correct answerC2
- D3
Solution
Complex $\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3$ is optically inactive.

$$ \text { From is optically active. } $$

$$ \text { From is optically active. } $$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
