Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
For a given compound, whether it is chiral or achiral has to be labeled.
Concept introduction:
Chiral:
When the molecule or object is not superimposable with their mirror image, then it is defined as a chiral molecule. The chiral molecule is considered when minimum one carbon atom is bonded with four different groups.
Achiral:
When the molecule or object is superimposable with their mirror image, then itis defined as an achiral molecule. An achiral molecule is then one when minimum one carbon atom is not bonded with four different groups.
b.
Interpretation:
For a given compound, whether it is chiral or achiral has to be labeled.
Concept introduction:
Refer to part “a.”.

- Label each compound as chiral or achiral. Compounds that contain a single carbon common to two rings are called spiro compounds. Because carbon is tetrahedral, the two rings are perpendicular to each other.arrow_forwardIdentify these as chiral or achiral.arrow_forwardDraw a mirror image for each compound.
