chiral or achiral or meso ??? explain the reasoning

### Chemical Structures #### a. Isopropylcyclohexene - The structure shown in diagram (a) is of isopropylcyclohexene. - It consists of a cyclohexene ring with a double bond between two of the carbon atoms. - Attached to the ring is an isopropyl group, denoted by the solid wedge (coming out of the page) and dashed wedge (going into the page) lines, indicating stereochemistry. #### b. Cyclohexane-1,2-diol - The structure in diagram (b) represents cyclohexane-1,2-diol. - It consists of a cyclohexane ring, which is a saturated six-membered carbon ring. - There are two hydroxyl (OH) groups attached to the ring at adjacent carbon positions (1 and 2), suggesting vicinal diol functional groups. - The bonds shown in bold and dashed representations suggest the spatial orientation of the hydroxyl groups in three-dimensional space around the ring.
