The complex that can show optical activity is: (1) trans-[Cr(Cl2)(ox)2]3- (2) trans-[Fe(NH3)2(CN)4]- (3) cis-[Fe(NH3)2(CN)2]- (4) cis-[CrCl2(ox)2]3- (ox = oxalate)

Correct answer: (4) cis-[CrCl2(ox)2]3- (ox = oxalate) Explanation: Only cis-[CrCl2(ox)2]3- show optical isomerism while its trans form do not show optical isomerism due to presence of plane of symmetry.

Correct answer: (4) cis-[CrCl₂(ox)₂]^3- (ox = oxalate)

Explanation:

Only cis-[CrCl₂(ox)₂]^3- show optical isomerism while its trans form do not show optical isomerism due to presence of plane of symmetry.
