Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given molecules possess a plane of symmetry or not, it is to be indicated.
Concept introduction:
A molecule has a plane of symmetry if it can be bisected in such a way that one half of molecule is the mirror image of the other half. If a molecule has at least one plane of a symmetry, then its mirror image is the same as itself. Thus, a molecule that possesses a plane of symmetry must be achiral, and the molecules that do not possess a plane of symmetry are chiral.
