(a)
Interpretation: Identification of the number of chirality centers in the given set of compounds
Concept Introduction:
There are two conditions to get a compound as a chiral. If an atom is attached with four different groups, that atom is having a chiral center. This is the first condition. The second one is that the compound doesn’t have any elements of symmetry. i.e., it should not have plane of symmetry and center of symmetry. If any one condition or both the conditions are possible in a compound, that compound is able to exhibit a chirality center. For example, the following compound has a chiral carbon.
To find: Identify the number of chirality centers in the given compound (a)
