Consider the following complexes:
(i) `[FeIF(CN)(H_(2)O)(en)]`
(ii) `[MoCl_(2)F_(2)(gly)]^(2-)`
Then, calculate value of `|x-y|` (where x and y are total number of possible optically active isomers in (i) and (ii) complex respectively).

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the number of optically active isomers for each of the given coordination complexes and then calculate the absolute difference between these numbers. ### Step 1: Analyze the first complex `[FeI(CN)(H2O)(en)]` 1. **Identify the ligands**: The ligands in this complex are Iodide (I), Cyanide (CN), Water (H2O), and Ethylenediamine (en). Ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand, meaning it can attach to the metal at two points. 2. **Determine the coordination number**: Iron (Fe) typically has a coordination number of 6 in this type of complex. 3. **Count the possible isomers**: - The complex can be arranged in different ways due to the presence of the bidentate ligand (en). - The total number of isomers can be calculated using the formula for optical isomers, which is based on the arrangement of ligands around the central metal ion. - For this complex, we can find that there are **12 possible optical isomers**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second complex `[MoCl2F2(gly)]^(2-)` 1. **Identify the ligands**: The ligands in this complex are Chloride (Cl), Fluoride (F), and Glycine (gly). Glycine is also a bidentate ligand. 2. **Determine the coordination number**: Molybdenum (Mo) also has a coordination number of 6 in this complex. 3. **Count the possible isomers**: - Similar to the first complex, we need to consider the arrangement of the ligands. - The presence of two types of monodentate ligands (Cl and F) and one bidentate ligand (gly) leads to different arrangements. - After analyzing the possible arrangements, we find that there are **4 possible optical isomers**. ### Step 3: Calculate the absolute difference - Let \( x \) be the number of optically active isomers for the first complex, which is 12. - Let \( y \) be the number of optically active isomers for the second complex, which is 4. - We need to calculate \( |x - y| \). \[ |x - y| = |12 - 4| = |8| = 8 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( |x - y| \) is **8**. ---
