The two complexes below have square planar and tetrahedral geometries, respectively. Which of the two structures is a chiral complex? Explain your answer.
Only the square planar complex is chiral because it has a non-superimposable mirror image.
Only the tetrahedral complex is chiral because it has a non-superimposable mirror image.
The square planar and tetrahedral complexes are both chiral because both have non-superimposable mirror images.
The square planar nor tetrahedral complexes are neither chiral because neither has non-superimposable mirror images.
