**Exercise 7: Chirality of Compounds**Consider the following compounds and determine if each is chiral or achiral. Show your work by identifying whether each molecule possesses a plane of symmetry or inversion symmetry.**a) Compound Structure:**- The first compound is a cyclic structure featuring alternating nitrogen and carbon atoms. Two carbonyl (C=O) groups are attached to the carbon atoms.- The stereochemistry is indicated by wedge bonds for two of the carbon atoms. **b) Compound Structure:**- The second compound is a similar cyclic structure, also with alternating nitrogen and carbon atoms.- It has substituents bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) attached to the carbon atoms, each specified with wedge bonds to indicate stereochemistry.**Analysis Tips:**1. **Chirality:** - A molecule is chiral if it does not have any plane of symmetry, meaning it does not have an internal mirror plane. - A molecule is typically considered achiral if it has a plane of symmetry or inversion center.2. **Identifying Symmetry:** - Look for planes that can cut the molecule into two mirrored halves. - Check if the molecule exhibits symmetry/whether it can be superimposed onto its mirror image.Use these principles to decide if each molecule is chiral or achiral and justify your reasoning with the symmetry observed or absent.
