A complex of the type `[M(A A)_(2)X_(2)]` is known to the optically active. What does this indicate about the structure of the complex? Give one example of such complex .

Options

A. It has an octahedral geometry
B. It is tetrahedral complex
C. It is trans complex
D. none of the above

Answer

A

Explanation

An optically active complex of the type ` [M (AA) _(2) X_(2)]^(n+)` indicates cis -octahedral structure e .g Cis `[Pt(en)_(2) Cl_(2)]` of Cis `[Cr(en)_(2)Cl_(2)]^(+)`
