Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A baseball glove should be classified as chiral or achiral.
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
(b)
Interpretation:
A scissor should be classified as chiral or achiral.
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.
(c)
Interpretation:
A glass of water should be classified as chiral or achiral.
