Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of asymmetric carbon of the given compound should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Chiral: Absence of a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry is called chiral molecule, a non-superimposable on its mirror image is called chiral. A carbon atom is attached by the four different groups is called chiral carbon.
Plane of symmetry: a plane through a crystal that divides the crystal into two parts that are mirror images of each other
