Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The maximum number of stereoisomers possible for the given compound is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Stereoisomers are the compounds in which molecular formula of a compound remains same but positions of different atoms or groups are changed to form new compounds. The stereocenters are carbon atoms on which the interchanging of two atoms or groups results in the formation of new stereoisomers. The stereocenters are also known as stereogenic centers.
