Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has tetrahedral geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.
Concept introduction:
Those compounds which have the same molecular formula but have different arrangements of atoms are known as isomers. The phenomenon is called isomerism. The isomers are generally classified as structural isomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are further divided into two categories diastereomers and enantiomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has square planar geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.

(c)
Interpretation:
The possible stereoisomers for bromochlorofluoromethane are to be drawn with the assumption that it has pyramidal geometry at the carbon atom. The relationship between the corresponding stereoisomer is stated.
