The total number of geometrical and optical isomers for the complex ion is, 2 and 2 respectively.

Explanation :

Pair of molecules (optical isomers) that are mirror images of each other are said to be enantiomers whereas pairs that are not mirror images of each other are said to be diastereomers.

Geometrical isomerism or cis-trans isomerism :

The complex compound which have the same ligands in the coordination sphere but the relative position of the ligands round the central metal atom is different are called geometrical isomers and the phenomenon is called geometrical isomerism.

The complex compound having two ligands occupying the adjacent position to each other is called cis-isomer while that in which the two ligands occupying the opposite position to each other is called trans-isomer.

[Co(en)_2Cl_2] in this complex, en and Cl is the ligands and this is the example of tetrahedral complex type. This complex ion exists in cis- and trans-isomers.

The geometrical isomer and optical isomers of [Co(en)_2Cl_2] are shown below.
