Vedclass · Answer

(D) The complex $[PtCl_2(en)_2]$ contains two monodentate ligands $(Cl^-)$ and two bidentate ligands $(en)$.It exhibits geometrical isomerism due to the different spatial arrangements of the $Cl^-$ ligands (cis and trans forms).The cis-isomer of $[PtCl_2(en)_2]$ is optically active because it lacks a plane of symmetry,while the trans-isomer is optically inactive.Therefore,the complex exhibits both geometrical and optical isomerism.

$[PtCl_2(en)_2]$ possesses which type of isomerism?
