AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given complexes exhibit chirality, we need to understand the concept of chirality and optical isomerism. Chirality refers to the property of a molecule that makes it non-superimposable on its mirror image, which is a characteristic of optically active compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Chirality**: - Chirality is a property of a molecule that lacks a plane of symmetry. If a molecule can be superimposed on its mirror image, it is achiral. If it cannot, it is chiral. 2. **Identify the Complexes**: ...
