Chapter 24, Problem 37SCQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The achiral amino acid from the
Concept introduction: A molecule is achiral if it is superimposible on its mirror image.
An achiral carbon atom is substituted by two same groups.
Chiral carbon forms four different bonds. A molecule is known as chiral if it is not superimposible on its mirror image. Some chiral molecule are known by their lack of plane of symmetry and centre of symmetry.
