A reaction of cobalt (III) chloride and ethylenediamine in a 1:2 mole ratio generates two isomeric poducts A (voilet coloured) and B (green coloured) A can show optical activity but B optically inactive. what type of isomers does A and B represent?

  • Option 1)

    Ionisation isomers

  • Option 2)

    Coordination isomers

  • Option 3)

    Geometrical isomers

  • Option 4)

    Linkage isomers

Geometrical Isomers -

This is due to the difference in relative position of the ligands attached to the central metal atom with respect to each other

-

 

As we have learned in isomerism when one is optically active and one is optically inactive A and B are geometrical isomers .


Option 1)

Ionisation isomers

Option 2)

Coordination isomers

Option 3)

Geometrical isomers

Option 4)

Linkage isomers
