The number of possible optical isomers for the complexes \(\mathrm{MA}_{2} \mathrm{B}_{2}\) with \(\mathrm{sp}^{3}\) and \(\mathrm{dsp}^{2}\) hybridised metal atom, respectively, is Note : \(A\) and \(B\) are unidentate neutral and unidentate monoanionic ligands, respectively

  1. A \(0\) and \(0\)
  2. B \(0\) and \(2\)
  3. C \(0\) and \(1\)
  4. D \(2\) and \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0\) and \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If the complex \(MA_2B_2\) is \(sp^3\) hybridised then the shape of this complex is tetrahedral this structure is opticaly inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry. Optical isomes \(= 0\) If the complex \(MA_2B_2\) is \(dsp^2\) hybridised then the shape of this complex…
