The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the inner orbital complex that exhibits both geometrical and optical isomerism, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Isomerism - **Geometrical Isomerism**: This occurs when ligands can be arranged in different spatial orientations around the central metal ion. The two main types are cis (same side) and trans (opposite sides). - **Optical Isomerism**: This occurs when a complex can exist in two non-superimposable mirror images, which means it lacks a plane of symmetry. ### Step 2: Identifying Inner Orbital Complexes - An inner orbital complex is formed when the d-orbitals of the central metal ion are involved in hybridization. This typically occurs with transition metals in lower oxidation states, where the d-orbitals are filled and can participate in bonding. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Given Complexes 1. **Chromium Ethylenediamine Complex**: - This complex does not exhibit geometrical isomerism due to the lack of different types of ligands. It can show optical isomerism because it lacks a plane of symmetry. 2. **Iridium Complex**: - This complex can show geometrical isomerism (cis and trans) but does not exhibit optical isomerism due to the presence of a plane of symmetry. 3. **Nickel(II) Chloride Ethylenediamine Complex**: - The trans form does not show optical isomerism due to symmetry. The cis form can show both geometrical and optical isomerism as it lacks a plane of symmetry. 4. **Cobalt Complex**: - The trans form does not show optical isomerism due to symmetry. The cis form can show both geometrical and optical isomerism as it lacks a plane of symmetry. ### Step 4: Conclusion - The complexes that can exhibit both geometrical and optical isomerism are the **Nickel(II) Chloride Ethylenediamine Complex** (cis form) and the **Cobalt Complex** (cis form). However, since the question specifically asks for an inner orbital complex, the **Cobalt Complex** is the correct answer as it involves d2sp3 hybridization, indicating it is an inner orbital complex. ### Final Answer The inner orbital complex which exhibits both geometrical as well as optical isomerism is the **Cobalt Complex (Cobalt(III) with CN and Oxidator)**. ---
