Chapter 25, Problem 46QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The asymmetric carbon atoms are to be identified in the given compounds.

Concept introduction:

The carbon atom in an organic compound is linked to four different groups, carbon atoms having this type of linkage is known as asymmetric carbon atom. It is also known as chiral carbon.

All those carbon atoms in the compound that are not bonded with four different groups, is known as achiral carbon atom.

Graphic representation of the molecular structure in the chemical compound, is known as structural formula.
