AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given compounds show stereoisomerism, we will analyze the structures of both compounds: 2-Bromo spiro [4.5] decane and 8-Chloro spiro [4.5] decane. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Stereoisomerism**: - Stereoisomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula and connectivity of atoms but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms. For a compound to exhibit stereoisomerism, it must have at least one chiral center (a carbon atom bonded to four different groups) or a lack of symmetry (no plane of symmetry). 2. **Analyzing 2-Bromo spiro [4.5] decane**: ...
