Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The validation about the circled carbon atom in the given molecule being a chiral center has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: A center to which four different groups are attached in a tetrahedral geometry and show handedness is called chiral center. The molecule containing the chiral center is called chiral molecule.
