Question

Consider the following statements :
S1 : Generally square planar complexes show geometrical isomerism but do not exhibit optical isomerism because they do not possess plane of symmetry.
S2 : ᐃt = ᐃ0
S3 : In octahedral complexes each electron entering the t2g orbitals stabilizes the complex ion by 0.4 ᐃo and each electron entering the eg orbital destabilizes the complex by an amount of 0.6 ᐃo.
Select the correct statement from the codes given below

Options

A.S1 and S3 are correct
B.S2 and S3 are correct
C.S1 is incorrect
D.S2 and S3 are incorrect

Solution

S1 : Square planar complexes with symmetrical ligands like (en) do not show geometrical isomerism and they have plane of symmetry, so optically inactive.
S2 and S3 are correct statements.
