The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the trans form of the complex \([M(AA)_{2}A_{2}]^{n+}\) and its isomerism properties, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Number The coordination number of the complex can be determined by analyzing the ligands: - The ligand \(AA\) is bidentate, meaning it can bind through two donor atoms. - The ligand \(A\) is monodentate, meaning it binds through one donor atom. Thus, the total coordination number is calculated as follows: - For \(2\) bidentate ligands: \(2 \times 2 = 4\) - For \(2\) monodentate ligands: \(2 \times 1 = 2\) Adding these together gives: \[ \text{Total Coordination Number} = 4 + 2 = 6 \] ### Step 2: Draw the Trans Form In the trans configuration, the bidentate ligands \(AA\) will be positioned opposite each other. The monodentate ligands \(A\) will occupy the remaining positions. ### Step 3: Analyze Symmetry Now, we need to analyze the symmetry of the trans form: - The trans form has a plane of symmetry because the two \(AA\) ligands are opposite each other and the two \(A\) ligands are also opposite each other. ### Step 4: Determine the Type of Isomerism Since the trans form has a plane of symmetry, it cannot exhibit optical isomerism. Optical isomerism occurs when a compound can exist in two non-superimposable mirror images, which is not possible in this case due to the presence of the plane of symmetry. ### Conclusion Thus, the trans form of the complex \([M(AA)_{2}A_{2}]^{n+}\) does not show **optical isomerism**. ### Final Answer The trans form of \([M(AA)_{2}A_{2}]^{n+}\) complex does not show **optical isomerism**. ---
