- 15-7 Answer true or false. The cis and trans stereoisomers of 2-butene are achiral. The carbonyl carbon of an aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, or ester cannot be a stereocenter. Stereoisomers have the same connectivity of their atoms. Constitutional isomers have the same connectivity of their atoms. An unmarked cube is achiral. A human foot is chiral. Every object in nature has a mirror image. The most common cause of chirality in organic molecules is the presence of a tetrahedral carbon atom with four different groups bonded to it. If a molecule is not superposable on its mirror image, the molecule is chiral.arrow_forwardWhat type of stereochemistry, S or R, does the chiral center in this molecule have?arrow_forwardNH2 N CH2 CH2 The stereochemistry around this chiral carbon is: O cannot be determined.
