The complex \(\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right]^{2+}\) ion shows
- A structural isomerism
- B geometrical isomerism only
- C optical isomerism only
- D geometrical and optical isomerism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) geometrical and optical isomerism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right]^{2+}\) shows both geometrical and optical isomerism as the complex forms cis and trans isomers. trans-isomer doesn't show optical isomerism since it is symmetrical but cis-isomer shows optical isomerism as it is unsymmetrical.
