**Chirality and Enantiomers in Organic Chemistry**The image above presents a problem related to chirality in organic compounds. Each pair of compounds contains one chiral center, and the task is to determine if they are the same compound or enantiomers. Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.1. **First Pair of Compounds:** - **Left Compound:** Contains a central carbon bonded to iodine (I), bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), and hydrogen (H). - **Right Compound:** Similarly, it has a central carbon bonded to the same four substituents: iodine (I), bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), and hydrogen (H).2. **Second Pair of Compounds:** - **Left Compound:** The central carbon is bonded to bromine (Br), methyl group (Me), and hydrogen (H). Another methyl group is also present. - **Right Compound:** This has the same set of substituents: bromine (Br), methyl group (Me), and hydrogen (H), along with another methyl group.3. **Third Pair of Compounds:** - **Left Compound:** Has a central carbon bonded to bromine (Br), ethyl group (Et), methyl group (Me), and hydrogen (H). - **Right Compound:** The setup is identical, with a carbon bonded to bromine (Br), ethyl group (Et), methyl group (Me), and hydrogen (H).4. **Fourth Pair of Compounds:** - **Left Compound:** Central carbon bonded to bromine (Br), methyl group (Me), ethyl group (Et), and hydrogen (H). - **Right Compound:** Maintains the same bonding pattern with bromine (Br), methyl group (Me), ethyl group (Et), and hydrogen (H).**Analysis Approach:**- **Superimposable:** If the compounds can be placed on top of each other with all atoms matching, they are the same compound.- **Non-superimposable/Mirror Images:** If they cannot be superimposed and are mirror images, they are enantiomers.By examining these compounds, you can explore the concept of chirality and better understand molecular structures in stereochemistry.
