(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: A three dimensional structure for the given compound, labeled mirror image of the structure and if the mirror image is the same compound.

Interpretation: A three dimensional structure for the given compound and labeled mirror image of the structure is to be drawn and identification of the mirror image as the same compound is to be done.

Concept introduction: A carbon which has all the four different atoms or group of atoms show tetrahedral geometry is referred as the chiral carbon. The mirror image of an object that contains chiral carbon has non-super imposable mirror image. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred to as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centres.

Concept introduction: A carbon which has all the four different atoms or group of atoms show tetrahedral geometry is referred as the chiral carbon. The mirror image of an object that contains chiral carbon has non-super imposable mirror image. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist is referred as to enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centres.

I need help with the following two problems, understanding them in a simple manner. Can you please draw them out for me with a detailed explanation so that I can better comprehend? I'm a visual person, so I definitely need that. Thank you very much!
Problem 54, could you please explain it in detail? Thank you! Step by step, I'm really confused, so please don't make it overly complex. My question is to visually draw it out and demonstrate it to me; I'm confused about that problem, please (not just in words) but demonstrate it to me in all due essence (visually) with descriptions.
