Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether there is any chiral carbon atom present in the following compound opr not should be determined:
Concept introduction:
Chiral carbon atoms are the species in which a carbon is attached to all different groups.
Since, the valency of a carbon atom is four. So, every chiral carbon atom will be attached to four different groups. A chiral atom is non-superimposable on its mirror image and it is unsymmetrical in nature.
Whereas a carbon atom that is superimposable on its mirror image is called an achiral carbon atom. It is symmetrical in nature.
