Optical isomerism is shown by octahedral complexes

A

having all monodentate ligands

B

having all the three bidentate ligands

C

having two trans bidentate ligands

D

having two trans monodentate ligands

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Octahedral complexes containing three bidentate ligands shows optical isomerism. IfAis a bidentate ligand then complex of type `MA_3` show optical isomerism.
