Number of stereoisomers possible for the complexes, [ CrCl ₃( py )₃ ] and [ CrCl ₂( ox )₂ ]³⁻ are respectively ( py = pyridine, ox = oxalate)
Options
- A3 & 3
- B2 & 2
- C2 & 3
- D1 & 2
Correct answer
C. 2 & 3
Step-by-step solution
So total stereo isomer =2 Geometrical isomer =2(1 cis +1 trans ) Optical isomer =3 ( 2 optically active +1 optically inactive) Stereoisomer =3
