Chemistry · JEE Main · NTA Exams — Coordination Compounds
Tetrahedral complexes of the types of [Ma4] and [Ma3b] (where M = metal, a, b = achiral ligands) are not able to show optical isomerism because
- these molecules/ions possess Cn axis of symmetry
- These molecules/ions possess a plane of symmetry and hence are achiral.
- these molecules possess a centre of symmetry
- these molecules/ions have nonsuperimposable mirror images
Answer
(B) These molecules/ions possess a plane of symmetry and hence are achiral.
