A) Complex: [AuBrCl]^-

1) Sketch the complex.

2) Sketch the mirror image.

3) Try to superimpose the mirror image on to the original complex. Do the two superimpose?

B) Complex: [HgBr2Cl]^-

1) Sketch the complex.

2) Sketch the mirror image.

3) Try to superimpose the mirror image on to the original complex. Do the two superimpose?

C) Complex: [FeBr2Cl2]^-

1) Sketch the complex.

2) Try to construct a geometric isomer of the complex. Then try to superimpose the complex that you just made on the original. If the two are different, draw each complex and label each as cis- and trans- respectively. If they superimpose, write the word âsuperimposeableâ in the space below.

3) Construct a model of the mirror image of each of the geometric isomers sketched in the space above or of the single complex if geometric isomers do not exist. Sketch the appropriate mirror images.

4) Try to superimpose the mirror images on to the original complex(es). Do they superimpose?

D) Complex: [NiBr2Cl2]^-2

1) Sketch the complex.

3) Construct a model of the mirror image of each of the geometric isomers sketched in the space above or of the single complex if geometric isomers do not exist. Sketch the appropriate mirror images.

4) Try to superimpose the mirror images on to the original complex(es). Do they superimpose?

Conformational isomers (conformations):

a. have the same molecular formula and physical properties, but different chemical properties.

b. have the same molecular formula, physical properties, and chemical properties.

c. have the same molecular formula, but different chemical and physical properties.

d. have different molecular formulas, but the same chemical and physical properties.
