    Which one of the following is expected to exhibit optical isomerism? (en = ethylenediamine)

    A)  \[Cis-[Pt{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]\]

    B)  \[Trans-[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]\]

    C)  \[Trans-[Pt{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]\]

    D)  \[Cis-[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[Cis\text{-}[Co{{(en)}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]\]is able to exhibit the phenomena of optical isomerism because it can form non-superimposable mirror images.
