Question

is this chiral, achiral, meso? explain

The image depicts the structural formula of a dicarboxylic acid molecule, specifically 3-methylpentanedioic acid. The structure includes: - Two carboxyl groups (CO₂H) at each end of the carbon chain. - A carbon chain that includes a total of five carbon atoms. - A methyl group (CH₃) attached to the third carbon in the chain. This structural representation uses wedge-and-dash notation to indicate the stereochemistry of the molecule. The solid wedge indicates that the bond is projecting out of the plane toward the viewer, and the dashed bond indicates that the bond is projecting behind the plane, away from the viewer.
