Out of the following two coordination entities which is chiral (optically active)? (1) `cis-[CrCl_(2)(o x)_(2)]^(3-)` (2) `trans - [CrCl_(2)(o x)_(2)]^(3-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let us consider structures of the coordination entities :

cis - isomer is chiral (optically active) because it is not superimposable with its mirror image.
