Its CIS form will show optical isomerism.

Just draw its CIS form's structural formula and then draw its mirror image. U will find that the 2 structures dont superimpose.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

just remember these two points , for optically activity:


1. presence of molecular dissymmetry or symmetry due to whitch the mirror images should be non super-imposable.


2. all ligands should not be in same plane.  (ex. square planar complexes -they are not optically active)


rate me if useful.
