Complex C o e n 2 C l 2 C l has ........ number of possible isomers. (en = ethylenediamine)

Complex Coen2Cl2Cl has ........ number of possible isomers. (en = ethylenediamine)
  1. 2
  2. 1
  3. 3
  4. 4

Solution

Coen2Cl2Cl
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
