Which of the following complex is optically inactive?
Options
- A[ RhCl ( CO ) ( PPh ₃ ) ( NH ₃ ) ]
- B[ Fe ( C ₂ O ₄ )₃ ]³⁻
- C[ Fe (e n)₂ Cl ₂ ]
- D[ Pd (e n)₂ Cl ₂ ]
Correct answer
A. [ RhCl ( CO ) ( PPh ₃ ) ( NH ₃ ) ]
Step-by-step solution
[ RhCl ( CO ) ( PPh ₃ ) ( NH ₃ ) ] is optically inactive as it is square planar complex. It has plane of symmetry.
