Which of the following pair of compounds is a pair of enantiomers

A

`[Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]^(+)`

B

`[Cr(en)_(3)]^(3+)`

C

`[Co(P(C_(2)H_(5))_(3))_(2)ClBr]`

D

trans- `[Co(en)_(2)Cl_(2)]^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Optical isomerism is common in octahedral complexes of the formula `[Ma_(2) b_(2) c_(2)] , [M(A A)_(3)]` , etc .
`[Cr(en)_(3)]^(3+)` shows optical isomerism and exists as a pair of enantiomers .
