Which of the following compounds has a stereoisomer that is a meso compound? (1) 2,4- dibromohexane, (II) 2,4-dibromopentane, (III) 2,4-dimethylpentane, (IV) 1,3-dichlorocyclobutane, (V) 1,4-dichlorocyclohexane. Recall that an achiral species is one that just contains an internal plane of symmetry. However, a meso compound has two or more asymmetric centers and an internal plane of symmetry. O III only O II and III O III and IV O II, IV, and V O II only
