**Stereochemistry: Identifying Chiral Centers**

Indicate with an asterisk (*) each of the chiral centers in the following molecules:

a. A benzene ring with a side chain: -CH₂CH₂C(CH₃)(CH₂OH)H

b. A linear chain with chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) attached: -Cl-C(Br)-

c. A bicyclic structure with several hydrogen atoms and one methyl (CH₃) group.

d. A cyclopentane ring with hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and bromine (Br) substituents.

e. A bicyclic structure with a cyano group (≡C≡N).

f. A cyclohexane ring with a methyl (CH₃) group attached.

Note: To identify chiral centers, look for carbon atoms attached to four different groups.
