JEE Main 2020Coordination Compounds Question with Solution

JEE Main 2020 (07 Jan Shift 2)

Question

The number of possible optical isomers for the complexes MA2B2 with sp3 and dsp2 hybridized metal atom, respectively, is:
Note: A and B are unidentate neutral and unidentate monoanionic ligands, respectively.

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C0 and 0

Step-by-step explanation

If the complex MA2B2is sp3 hybridised then the shape of this complex is tetrahedral this structure is optically inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry



Optical isomers = 0 (b) If the complex MA 2 B 2 is dsp 2 hybridised then the shape of this complex is square planar.



Both isomers are optically inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry. Optical isomers =0
