Chapter 9, Problem 9.4E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible isomers for the complex $\left[\text{Cr}\left(\text{Br}\right)\left(\text{Cl}\right)\left(\text{I}\right){\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}\right]$ ha to be drawn and the isomers which are chiral has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Isomers:

The compounds with same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of the atom are said to be isomers.

Chirality:

A molecule or ion is called chiral only when there is non superimpossable mirror image and there is no plane of symmetry in the molecule.  This property is known as chirality.

Enantiomers:

The compounds, which are mirror images but are not identical to each other, are called as enantiomers.
