Question: For complex ion/compound formation reactions

(I) Co3+(aq)+EDTA4P (II) Ni2+(aq)+dmg(excess)NH4OHQ (III) Zn2+(aq)+gly(excess)R (IV) Pt4+(aq)+en,(excess)S which of the following complex ion/compound does not exhibit optical activity?

Options:

A) P

B) Q

C) R

D) S

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Ni2+(aq) with DMG (dimethylglyoxime) form square planar complex which is obtically inactive.
