Vedclass · Answer

(B) The complex $[Co(acac)_2BrCl]^{\ominus}$ is of the type $[M(AA)_2ab]$,where $AA$ is a symmetrical bidentate ligand (acetylacetonate,$acac^-$) and $a, b$ are monodentate ligands ($Br^-$ and $Cl^-$).This complex exhibits geometrical isomerism,having two forms: $cis$ and $trans$.$1$. The $trans$-form has a plane of symmetry and is optically inactive (achiral).$2$. The $cis$-form does not have a plane of symmetry and exists as a pair of enantiomers (dextro and laevo forms),making it optically active.Therefore,the total number of stereoisomers is $1$ $(trans)$ + $2$ ($cis$ enantiomers) = $3$.
