(a)
Interpretation:
It is to be determined whether the mirror image of the given molecule is superimposable on the original molecule.
Concept introduction:
Molecules are superimposable if there is an orientation in which all atoms of both molecules can be lined up perfectly. The molecule and its mirror image are said to be superimposable if the mirror image is exactly the same as the original molecule or it can be the same as the original molecule when the mirror image is rotated.
(b)
Interpretation:
It is to be determined whether the mirror image of the given molecule is superimposable on the original molecule.
