Standard Books Chemistry Isomerism in Coordination Compounds MCQ Question with Solution

Both geometrical and optical isomerism are shown by

A

[Co(en)₂Cl₂]⁺

B

[Co(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺

C

[Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]⁺

D

[Co(ox)₃]³⁻

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

[Co(en)₂Cl₂]⁺ can show geometrical isomerism due to the presence of two different ligands (en and Cl) and optical isomerism due to the presence of the bidentate ligand ethylenediamine (en) which can create non-superimposable mirror images.
