### Identification of Chiral Centers and Classification of Molecules**Task:**Examine the molecular structures provided to identify all chiral centers. Determine if each molecule is chiral or achiral. If the achiral molecules are meso, classify them accordingly.**Molecular Structures:**1. **Structure 1:** Contains a carbon bonded to an OH (hydroxyl) group and a Cl (chlorine) atom.2. **Structure 2:** Contains a carbon with two OH (hydroxyl) groups.3. **Structure 3:** Contains a carbon with no additional groups shown explicitly.4. **Structure 4:** Cyclic structure with a three-carbon ring.5. **Structure 5:** Contains a Cl (chlorine) attached to a chain with branching.6. **Structure 6:** A cyclic structure featuring an OH (hydroxyl) group and a Br (bromine) atom.7. **Structure 7:** A six-membered ring structure, with no explicit substituents shown.**Instructions:**- **Chiral Center Identification:** Look for carbon atoms bonded to four different groups.- **Chirality Determination:** A molecule is chiral if it has at least one chiral center and lacks a plane of symmetry.- **Meso Classification:** If a molecule is achiral and has chiral centers arranged in a way that creates a mirror plane, it may be classified as meso.Consider these aspects while interpreting each molecule to complete the task.

Chiral molecules are those those in which carbon atom is bonded to four different substituents and…
