Question
A complex of the type $\ce{[M(AA)_2X_2]^{n+}}$ is known to be optically active. What does this indicate about the structure of the complex? Give one example of such complex.

Answer

An optically active $\ce{[M(AA)_2X_2]^{n+}}$ indicates civ $-$ octahedral structure
e.g. $\ce{cis -[Pt(en)_2Cl_2]^{2+}}$ or $\ce {cis -[Cr(en)_2Cl_2]^+}$
