Question

In a coordination entity of the type [PtCl₂(en)₂]²⁺ which isomer will show optical isomerism?

विकल्प

• cis-isomer

• trans-isomer

• fac-isomer

• mer-isomer

Answer 1

cis-isomer

Explanation:

We can see that in the cis isomer the mirror images are non-superimposable whereas in trans-isomer the mirror images will be superimposable and hence will not show optical activity.
