Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
It should be identified that given complex exist as enantiomer and the structure for both enantiomer should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions.
Chirality:
Objects having non-superimposable mirror image relationship that is, it does not contain plane of symmetry are referred as chiral objects.
Symmetry operation (Plane of symmetry):
It is an operation that gives an object looking the same after it has been carried out.
Enantiomers: They are optical isomers whose mirror images are non-superimposable. They rotate the plane polarized light in opposite direction.
(b)
Interpretation:
It should be identified that given complex exist as enantiomer and the structure for both enantiomer should be drawn.
