Assertion: The geometrical isomers of the complex

\left[{M}\left({NH}_3\right)_4 {Cl}_2\right]

are optically inactive.

Reason: Both geometrical isomers of the complex

\left[{M}\left({NH}_3\right)_4 {Cl}_2\right]

posses axis of symmetry.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is correct explanation for Assertion

Option A is correct because the geometrical isomers of [M(NH3)4Cl2] are optically inactive, and this is due to the presence of a plane or axis of symmetry in both isomers.
