Vedclass · Answer

(C) Optical isomerism is exhibited by complexes that lack a plane of symmetry and a center of inversion (i.e.,they are chiral).For octahedral complexes of the type $[M(AA)_3]^{n+}$,where $AA$ is a bidentate ligand like ethylenediamine $(en)$,the complex exists as a pair of enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images).In the given options,$[CO(en)_3]^{3+}$ is an octahedral complex with three bidentate ligands,which lacks a plane of symmetry and is optically active.$[Zn(en)_2]^{2+}$ is a tetrahedral complex,which generally does not show optical isomerism unless all four ligands are different.$[CO(H_2O)_4(en)]^{3+}$ is of the type $[M(AA)a_4]$,which possesses a plane of symmetry and is therefore optically inactive.
