Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chiral: Molecules that are non- superimposible mirror image, it has no symmetry either point of symmetry line of symmetry or plane of symmetry: It has a chiral carbon, chiral carbon is that carbon which is attached to our different group is called chiral carbon, or chiral center.

Achiral: Molecules that are superimposible of its mirror image. It has symmetry.

Concept introduction:

Simple rule to identify chiral center: It is that tetrahedral bonded carbon, where all four substituents are different. This carbon is also known as stereocenter.
