MCQ
The inner orbital complex which exhibits both geometrical as well as optical  isomerism.
  • A
    $[Cr(en)_3]^{3+}$
  • B
    $[IrF_3(H_2O)_2(NH_3)]$
  • C
    $[NiCl_2(en)_2]$
  • $[Co(CN)_2(ox)_2]^{3-}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$[Co(CN)_2(ox)_2]^{3-}$
d
$(d)\, [Cr(en)_3]^{3+} :$ Hyb. $: d^2sp^3;$ does not exhibit geometrical isomerism  but exhibits optical isomerism. 

$[IrF_3 (H_2O)_2(NH_3)] $; Hyb.  $:$  $d^2sp^3;$ exhibits geometrical isomerism but  does not exhibit optical isomerism. 

$[NiCl_2(en)_2]$ ; Hyb. $:$ $sp^3d^2;$ exhibits both geometrical isomerism and  optical isomerism. 

$[Co(CN)_2(ox)_2]^{3-}$ ; Hyb.  $: d^2sp^3 ;$ exhibits both geometrical isomerism  and optical isomerism.
