Which of the following compounds have possibility of enantiomerism?

Option: 1

\left [ Co\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{6} \right ]^{3+}


Option: 2

\left [ Co\left ( en \right )_{3} \right ]^{3+}


Option: 3

\left [ Co\left ( H_{2}O \right )_{6} \right ]^{3+}


Option: 4

All of these


Answers (1)

As we have learnt,

Species without a plane of symmetry and centre of symmetry are optically active and have enantiomeric pairs. Enantiomers have a mirror image which is not superimposable on each other.

Here  \left [ Co{(en)_3} \right ]^{3+}is optically active as it does not have symmetry elements.

Therefore, option (2) is correct.
