Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion : Square planar complex

{\text{M}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{b}}_{\text{2}}}

has two optical isomers.

Reason : Mirror image of

{\text{M}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{b}}_{\text{2}}}

is non-super imposable.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

If both Assertion & Reason are false

Option D is correct because square planar complexes of the type

{\text{M}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{b}}_{\text{2}}}

do not have optical isomers, and their mirror images are superimposable.
