Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept:

Chirality condition: An molecule is chiral when it is not superimposable on its mirror image. All asymmetric and dissymmetric molecules are chiral.

In other words, the term of symmetry the absence of Sn is the necessary and sufficient condition for chirality.

And S1 is similar to the mirror image. Further if in any molecule there will be any plan of symmetry then again it would be achiral.
