Interpretation:
It is to be proved that
Concept introduction:
An atom and its mirror image are directly opposite each other on opposite sides of the mirror. An atom and its mirror image are identical distances away from the mirror. When the mirror is perpendicular to the plane of the page, dash-wedge notation in the mirror image is identical to that in the original molecule. A molecule is chiral if the mirror image considering every orientation possible does not superimpose with the original molecule.
