Question
Both geometrical and optical isomerism are shown by :
Options
A.[Co(en)2Cl2]+
B.[Co(NH3)5Cl]2+
C.[Co(NH3)4Cl2]+
D.[Cr(OX)3]3-
Solution
[Co(en)2Cl2]+ show geometrical isomerism and its only cis-form show optical isomerism.

(B) [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ exists only in one form.
(C)

It does not shows optical isomerism because of the presence of plane of symmetry and centre of symmetry.
(D) [Cr(OX)3]3- shows optical isomerism but does not show geometrical isomerism because of the same type of ligands.

(B) [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ exists only in one form.
(C)

It does not shows optical isomerism because of the presence of plane of symmetry and centre of symmetry.
(D) [Cr(OX)3]3- shows optical isomerism but does not show geometrical isomerism because of the same type of ligands.
