Chapter 5, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given options, molecules that are chiral and capable of existing as enantiomers are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomers that are non-superposable mirror images of each other.

A chiral molecule is one that has non-superposa-ble mirror image and an achiral molecule is one that has superposable mirror image.

A chiral molecule and its mirror image are enantiomers.

Enantiomers exist only for chiral molecules.

For any molecule to have enantiomers, there must be one chiral center present.

A common chiral center present in molecules is a carbon atom attached to four different groups.
