Stereochemistry and Isomerism
Stereochemistry deals with the three-dimensional structure and properties of molecules. It explains the arrangement of atoms and their manipulation within a molecule in a 3D structure. Stereochemistry can be dealt with all types of molecules. Based on th…

Chapter 15, Problem 15.28P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Mirror image of the diethyl ether O(CH2CH3)2 should be drawn and the chirality of the compound should be labeled.

Concept Introduction:

Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image. To consider as chiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should not superimpose. To consider as achiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should be superimposed with each other.

In the above diagram, where C is the chiral center/ asymmetric carbon center.

A, B, D, E are four different functional groups.
