Chapter 6, Problem 6.1P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The classification of the given molecule as achiral or chiral is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A carbon atom that does not have four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as an achiral carbon atom.
