Exceptional Lie algebras are a special class of Lie algebras that are distinguished by their properties and their position within the broader classification scheme of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. There are exactly five exceptional Lie algebras, which are denoted as \\( \\text\{G\}_2 \\), \\( \\text\{F\}_4 \\), \\( \\text\{E\}_6 \\), \\( \\text\{E\}_7 \\), and \\( \\text\{E\}_8 \\).
