Vedclass · Answer

(C) Optical isomerism is exhibited by complexes that lack a plane of symmetry or center of inversion.$1$. $[Co(en)_3]^{3+}$ is a tris-chelated complex and is chiral.$2$. $[CoCl_2(en)_2]^+$ exists as cis and trans isomers; the cis-isomer is chiral.$3$. $[CoCl_3(NH_3)_3]$ exists as facial $(fac)$ and meridional $(mer)$ isomers. Both isomers possess a plane of symmetry,hence they are achiral and do not exhibit optical isomerism.$4$. $[CoCl_2(en)(NH_3)_2]^+$ can exist in chiral forms depending on the arrangement of ligands.Therefore,$[CoCl_3(NH_3)_3]$ is the correct answer.
