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 chiral molecule. The chiral molecule is also 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 it is defined as an achiral molecule. An achiral molecule is also considered 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.”.

- Which of the following molecules can have enantiomers? Identify any chiral carbon atoms. a. b. c.arrow_forwardChiral Carbons print/draw the expanded structure of 4-bromo-4-ethylhept-1-ene. Determine if your molecule contains any chiral carbons. If there are chiral carbons in your molecule, circle or highlight all of them. If your molecule does not contain any chiral carbons explain why none of the carbons are chiral.arrow_forwardLabel 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_forward
- Explain the concept of chirality in organic chemistry, its significance in drug design, and the difference between enantiomers and diastereomers.arrow_forwardName the given compound. Make sure you include the appropriate configuration for each of the chiral centers.arrow_forwardHow many chiral centers (stereogenic centers) are in this molecule?arrow_forward
- 2-hydroxypropanoic acid (lactic acid) has a chiral carbon atom. Draw the structure of lactic acid and mark the chiral atom with *. Draw three-dimensional diagrams of the two optical isomers to show that they are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. 1. Locate the chiral centre 2. Draw one enantiomer 3. Draw its mirror image beside it. in a tetrahedral shape - Draw and name the geometric isomers of C2H2CI2 3. Draw its mirror image beside it. 2. Draw one enantiomer in a tetrahedral shape 1.
