Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 6ATS
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Check whether the given compound is chiral or not. The answer should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Chirality: The geometric property of molecules where the structure of the molecule and its mirror image are not superimposable is known as chirality. Chiral molecules are optically active and they can rotate the plane polarized light.
Chiral centre: A chiral centre is defined as the tetrahedral carbon atom in an organic molecule that is connected to four non-identical groups/substituents. It is sometimes known as a stereo genic centre.
The carbon atom bonded to four unlike groups is called an asymmetric carbon atom and is also known as chiral carbon.
