The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes shows the maximum number of stereoisomers, we will analyze each complex one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the complexes**: The complexes given are: - (i) PtCl3(C2H4) - (ii) CuBr2Cl2 - (iii) Cr(NH3)2(en)2^3+ - (iv) Cu(C2O4)2^3- 2. **Analyze the first complex (PtCl3(C2H4))**: - This complex has a square planar geometry. - It can exhibit cis and trans isomerism. - Therefore, it has **2 stereoisomers** (cis and trans). 3. **Analyze the second complex (CuBr2Cl2)**: - This complex also has a square planar geometry. - It can exhibit cis and trans isomerism as well. - Thus, it also has **2 stereoisomers** (cis and trans). 4. **Analyze the third complex (Cr(NH3)2(en)2^3+)**: - This complex has an octahedral geometry. - It can exhibit geometric isomerism (cis and trans) as well as optical isomerism. - The possible stereoisomers are: - 2 cis isomers (one for each pair of en ligands) - 1 trans isomer - 2 optical isomers for each cis isomer. - Therefore, it has a total of **4 stereoisomers** (2 cis, 1 trans, and 2 optical). 5. **Analyze the fourth complex (Cu(C2O4)2^3-)**: - This complex has an octahedral geometry. - It can exhibit cis and trans isomerism. - The possible stereoisomers include: - 2 cis isomers (one for each pair of oxalate ligands) - 1 trans isomer - 2 optical isomers for each cis isomer. - Thus, it has a total of **3 stereoisomers** (2 cis and 1 trans). 6. **Compare the number of stereoisomers**: - PtCl3(C2H4): 2 stereoisomers - CuBr2Cl2: 2 stereoisomers - Cr(NH3)2(en)2^3+: 4 stereoisomers - Cu(C2O4)2^3-: 3 stereoisomers 7. **Conclusion**: - The complex with the maximum number of stereoisomers is **Cr(NH3)2(en)2^3+**, which has **4 stereoisomers**. ### Final Answer: The complex that shows the maximum number of stereoisomers is **Cr(NH3)2(en)2^3+**.
