(a)
Interpretation: The total number of chiral centres present in the compounds of the given pair has to be stated.
Concept introduction: A center to which four different groups are attached in a tetrahedral geometry and show handedness is called chiral center. The molecule that forms a non-superimposable mirror image is called a chiral molecule.

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
