Great shotAlso Holmes this is actually the correct explanation
well you can only have two isomers
cis and trans
and for the cis isomer, there will be two optical isomers since there is also a bidentate ligand present
THIS IS TRANS

THE ONES BELOW ARE BOTH CIS AND MIRROR IMAGES OF EACH OTHER...THE LINE IN BETWEEN IS THE MIRROR
THIS KIND OF ISOMERISM IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN BIDENTATE LIGANDS ARE ALSO PRESENT
