Chapter 5, Problem 5.5YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The plane of symmetry in
Concept introduction:
A chiral molecule does not have a plane of symmetry, and it cannot be bisected in such a way that one half of the molecule is the mirror image of the other half. The chiral molecule has no plane of symmetry. Plane of symmetry is shown by a dashed line that splits the molecule into two equal halves.

For each compound, determine whether the molecule has an internal mirror plane of symmetry. If it does, draw the mirror plane on a three-dimensional drawing of the molecule. If the molecule does not have an internal mirror plane, determine whether the structure is chiral. cis-1,2-dibromocyclobutane
Several compounds are shown below. For each, make two models: one model of the compound as shown, and the other where each tetrahedral stereocenter is inverted.
Compare the two models side-by-side to see if the model with the inverted stereocenter(s) is the enantiomer, or if it is identical to the original. Remember, you can rotate around
o-bonds to place the molecule in the conformation with the highest symmetry. Is each compound meso or not?
