Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the chiral cyclic alkane which has the lowest molecular mass is to be drawn.

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 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.
