(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of cis-1,2-dichlorocyclopentane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Meso compound has the internal plane of mirror. Both are superimposable to each other.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of trans-1,2-dichlorocyclopentane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:If a carbon center has four different groups attached to it, it is known as chiral center.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of cis-1,3-dichlorocyclopentane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:The meso compound has the chiral atom in addition with the plane of mirror. They are superimposable in nature.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of trans-1,3-dichlorocyclopentane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: If a carbon center has four different groups attached to it, it is known as chiral center.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of cis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:The meso compound has internal plane of mirror. Both the images are super imposable to each other.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: If a carbon center has four different groups attached to it, it is known as chiral center.

(g)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of cis-1,3-dichlorocyclohexane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:The meso compound has the internal plane of symmetry with chiral centers in it.

(h)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of trans-1,3-dichlorocyclohexane needs to be drawn, whether it is chiral or meso needs to be determined. The location of the mirror plane in meso compound needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:When compound has four different groups attached to it and there is no plane of symmetry. Then that compound will be chiral compound.
