Question

Which of the following possess reflectional symmetry? (Choose all that apply.)

The image displays four different stereoisomers, labeled A, B, C, and D. Each molecule consists of a central carbon chain with substituents, showing stereochemistry through wedge and dash bonds, indicating different spatial orientations. **A.** The molecule features two hydroxyl (OH) groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms, with both groups in the plane of the screen. **B.** Similar to molecule A, this molecule also has two hydroxyl (OH) groups. However, the group on the left is coming out of the plane (solid wedge) and the one on the right is going into the plane (hashed wedge). **C.** This molecule has chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) as substituents. The chlorine is coming out of the plane (solid wedge) and the bromine is going into the plane (hashed wedge). **D.** The positions of the bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) are reversed compared to molecule C. The bromine is now coming out of the plane (solid wedge) and the chlorine is going into the plane (hashed wedge). These diagrams are an excellent example to illustrate the concept of stereoisomerism, specifically enantiomers and diastereomers, in organic chemistry.
