For the given complex [CoCl(2)(en)(NH(3)...

For the given complex `[CoCl_(2)(en)(NH_(3))_(2)]^(+)`, the number of geometrical isomers, the number of optical isomers and total number of isomers of all type possible respectively are

A

2, 2 and 4

B

2, 2 and 3

C

2, 0 and 2

D

0, 2 and 2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The octahedral complex of the type `[M(A A)X_(2)Y_(2)]`, i.e., `[CoCl_(2)(en)(NH_(3))_(2)]^(+)` will show two cis- and trans-geometrical isomers. Out of these, cis-isomer will be optically active and shows two d- and l-forms. So the total number of possible isomers will be three.
