[2010]
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Solution:
(d) In
hybridisation, thus tetrahedral in shape. Hence, the four ligands are not different to exhibit optical isomerism.
(ii) [Mabcd] does not have a plane of symmetry, thus it will show optical isomerism. Whereas,
Tetrahedral complexes are symmetrical in all directions. Thus, cannot show geometrical isomerism.
