Students have asked these similar questions
Label the chirality center (if one exists) in each compound. A compound may contain zero or one chirality center.
Place an asterisk (*) next to the chirality center (sometimes called chiral atom) or centers in each compound. It is possible that a compound may not have a chiral center.
Label each compound as chiral or achiral.
