Question
Chapter 5, Problem 7PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The objects that possess a plane of symmetry are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The objects that are nonsuperimposable or not identical with their mirror images are known as chiral objects. Chiral objects never possess a plane of symmetry.
The objects that are superimposable with their mirror images are achiral objects and these objects have a centre of symmetry or plane of symmetry.
An imaginary plane through which a molecule is bisected in such a manner that the molecule is divided into two halves and these two halves are mirror images of each other is known as the plane of symmetry.
