The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes is chiral, we need to analyze each complex for the presence of a plane of symmetry. A complex is considered chiral if it does not have a plane of symmetry, making it optically active. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the complexes**: We need to analyze the given complexes for chirality. The complexes mentioned are: - Option 1: Cr(ox)3 - Option 2: cis-[PtCl2(en)] - Option 3: trans-[PtCl2(en)] - Option 4: [PtCl2(en)2] 2. **Analyze Option 1: Cr(ox)3**: - The oxalate ion (ox) is a bidentate ligand, meaning it forms two bonds with the central metal ion (Cr). - When we visualize the structure of Cr(ox)3, we find that there is no plane that can divide the complex into two symmetrical halves. - Therefore, Cr(ox)3 does not have a plane of symmetry and is considered chiral. 3. **Analyze Option 2: cis-[PtCl2(en)]**: - In this complex, the two Cl ligands are on the same side (cis configuration). - If we draw a plane through the center of the complex, this plane will pass between the two Cl ligands, dividing the complex into two symmetrical halves. - Thus, this complex has a plane of symmetry and is not chiral. 4. **Analyze Option 3: trans-[PtCl2(en)]**: - In the trans configuration, the two Cl ligands are opposite each other. - A plane can also be drawn through the complex that separates the two Cl ligands, leading to symmetry. - Therefore, this complex also has a plane of symmetry and is not chiral. 5. **Analyze Option 4: [PtCl2(en)2]**: - In this complex, we have two bidentate ethylenediamine (en) ligands and two Cl ligands. - Similar to the previous cases, a plane can be drawn that separates the Cl ligands, indicating the presence of symmetry. - Hence, this complex is also not chiral. 6. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all options, we find that only **Option 1: Cr(ox)3** is chiral because it does not have a plane of symmetry. ### Final Answer: The chiral complex is **Option 1: Cr(ox)3**.
