Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mirror image isomer among the given organic compounds needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 20STP
The option (A) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
The given organic compounds are:
If CF4, CH2F2 and CF3 H molecules are cut in two equal halves and a mirror in put between these compounds, a mirror image can be seen, but in case of CH(CH3)BrF no mirror image is obtained.
Also, in the above compounds, only option (A) is non-superimposable mirror image.
So, option (A) is correct.
