Question
Chapter 20, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Stereo centers of all triacylglycerol are same or not have to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Asymmetric center:
It refers to a tetrahedral atom which is bonded to four different groups. Usually, chiral molecules have an asymmetric center.
