Note : A and B are unidentate netural and unidentate monoanionic ligands, respectively.
Note : A and B are unidentate netural and unidentate monoanionic ligands, respectively.
Multiple Choice Options
- A 0 and 2
- B 0 and 0
- C 0 and 1
- D 2 and 2
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
(a) If the complex MA2B2 is sp3 hybridised then the shape of this complex is tetrahedral this structure is opticaly inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry. 
(b) If the complex MA2B2 is dsp2 hybridised then the shape of this complex is square planar.
Both isomers are optically inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry.
Total number of optical isomer is zero in both the cases.
(b) If the complex MA2B2 is dsp2 hybridised then the shape of this complex is square planar.
Both isomers are optically inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry.
Total number of optical isomer is zero in both the cases.
