Which of the following statements is not true about the complex ion `[Pt(en)_2Cl_2]^(2+)`?

A

(a) It has two geometrical isomers: cis and trans.

B

(b) Both the cis and trans isomers display optical activity.

C

(c) Only the cis isomer displays optical activity.

D

(d) Only the cis isomer has non-superimposable mirror image.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As trans isomer has symmetry elements it does not show optical isomerism. (a), (c) and (d) are correct statements.
