Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The total number of chiral centres present in the given molecule has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Acenter 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.
