The compound Cr(en)2(OH)2Cl has been prepared in several isomeric forms: Isomer A is optically inactive and undergoes no reaction with either AgNO3 or en. Isomer B is optically inactive and reacts with AgNO3 to form a white precipitate, but does not react with en. Isomer C is optically active and reacts both with en and AgNO3. Assuming the coordination number of chromium is 6, identify each of the three isomers by name and draw each of the structures. Hint: For the en ligand think about what angle the donor atoms form with the metal ion.
