(a)
Interpretation:
Mirror image of the halothane (
Concept Introduction:
Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image. To consider as chiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should not superimpose. To consider as achiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should be superimposed with each other.
In the above diagram, where C is the chiral center/ asymmetric carbon center.
A, B, D, E are four different
(b)
Interpretation:
Mirror image of the dichloromethane (
Concept Introduction:
Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image. To consider as chiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should not superimpose. To consider as achiral, molecule or object and its mirror image should be superimposed with each other.
In the above diagram, where C is the chiral center/ asymmetric carbon center.
A, B, D, E are four different functional groups.

What can be said about A and B (select all that apply). a. They are mirror images of eachother b. Neither contains a chiral center c. They consist of the same number & types of atoms d. They are superimposible e. They are NOT superimposable f. They are stereoisomersarrow_forward
