Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound
Concept introduction:
Chiral molecules are molecules in which carbon atom contain four different groups on it. The carbon atom which contains four different groups is known as the chiral center of the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound
Concept introduction:
When two compounds are superimposable mirror images, then the compound is same but if they are not superimposable and mirror images of each other, then they are diastereomers of each other. These diastereomers are stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other. To be stereoisomers, they must contain the same molecular formula, be different molecules, and have same connectivity.
(c)
Interpretation:
Chair flipping of
Concept introduction:
When two compounds are superimposable mirror images, then the compound is same but if they are not superimposable mirror images of each other, then they are diastereomers of each other. These diastereomers are stereoisomers which are not mirror images of each other. To be stereoisomers, they must contain same molecular formula, be different molecules, and have same connectivity.
