PdBrClNO2NH3Hyb. of Pd2+:dsp2 complex has plane of symmetry hence does not exhibit optical isomerism. But it exhibits geometrical isomerism and number of geometrical isomers = 3.
 The complex : [ Zn(SCN)H2O (gly)] exhibits optical isomerism 
Number of stereoisomers = 2

 Hybridization of zinc :sp3
 The complex : [ Co(acac)3 exhibits optical isomerism 
Number of stereoisomers = 2
 

Question Image

 The complex PtBrH2O( en ) does not exhibit geometrical and optical isomerism, because it contains plane of symmetry.
