Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
For a given compound whether it is chiral or achiral has to be labeled.
Concept introduction:
Chiral:
When the molecule or object is not superimposable with their mirror image, then it is defined as chiral molecule. The chiral molecule is also considered when minimum one carbon atom is bonded with four different groups.
Achiral:
When the molecule or object is superimposable with their mirror image, then it is defined as an achiral molecule. An achiral molecule is also considered when minimum one carbon atom is not bonded with four different groups.
b.
Interpretation:
For a given compound whether it is chiral or achiral has to be labeled.
Concept introduction:
Refer to part “a.”.
