Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: All the geometrical isomers of $\text{Cr}\left(\text{en}\right){\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{BrCl}}^{\text{+}}$ are to be drawn.

Among them, the isomers which are optically active are to be stated.

Concept introduction: The compounds which have similar chemical formula but different structures, i.e., the atoms are in a different spatial arrangement, they are known as structural isomers. Cis and Trans isomers are also structural or geometrical isomers.

To determine: All the geometrical isomers of $\text{Cr}\left(\text{en}\right){\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}{\text{BrCl}}^{\text{+}}$ and the isomers that are optically active.
