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.
