  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(14\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of stereoisomers in \(\left[ Co ( ox )_{2} Br \left( NH _{3}\right)\right]^{2 -}\) i.e. \(\simeq\left[ M ( AA )_{2} ab \right]^{2-}\) \(\rightarrow\) cis is optically active isomers and trans is optically inactive isomer \(\rightarrow\) Hence total isomers is \(=3\)
