Question
The complex ion has two optical isomers. Their correct configurations are :
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
(A) Both are identical structures and each have plane of symmetry ; so they are not optical isomers.
(B) Both are identical structures and each have plane of symmetry ; so they are not optical isomers.
(C) Both are identical structures and each have plane of symmetry ; so they are not optical isomers.
(D) Both are mirror images of each other which are non-superimposable (they lack plane of symmetry)
(B) Both are identical structures and each have plane of symmetry ; so they are not optical isomers.
(C) Both are identical structures and each have plane of symmetry ; so they are not optical isomers.
(D) Both are mirror images of each other which are non-superimposable (they lack plane of symmetry)
