(a)
Interpretation:
The presence of asymmetric centers in the given compounds has to be checked.
Concept introduction:
Stereoisomers are isomers which have different spatial arrangement in spite of same bond connectivity. Stereoisomers are due to the presence of stereo center.
Asymmetric center is a stereo center which arises to hydrocarbons if the carbon is bonded to four different groups.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chirality of the given compounds has to be checked.
Concept introduction:
Optical activity (chirality) of a molecule is the interaction between molecule and plane-polarized light.
Molecule having asymmetric center shows optical activity except mesocompounds.
If a compound having non-superimposable mirror image, then the compound is chiral.

- A) How many stereocentres are present in the molecule? B) Is the molecule chiral? Does it contain planes of symmetry? Briefly explain using the evidence for your answer. C) Are the models you have just built enantiomers?arrow_forwardWhy are these chiral centers when it is connected to two Carbons so not 4 different groups?arrow_forwardWould someone be able to explain conformationally locked enantiomers? What types of structures go under this category and are they still optically active?arrow_forward
- what type of isomers are the compounds? which compound have a pair of enantiomers? pls explain and show the enantiomersarrow_forward(a) Draw the nine isomers having the formula C7H16 . (Hint: There is one structure with a seven-carbon chain, two structures with six-carbon chains [one is illustrated in the margin above], five structures with a five-carbon chain, and one structure with a fourcarbon chain.)(b) Identify the isomers of C7H16 that are chiral.arrow_forwardIdentify any chiral centers within the 2 molecules and identify whether each molecule is chiral or archial. If it is chiral, explain whether you expect a single enantiomer or a mixture of enantiomers to be formed.arrow_forward
- Do the following compounds have any asymmetric centers? b. Are the compounds chiral? (Hint: Make models.) 1. CH2=C=CH2 2. CH3CH = C = CHCH3arrow_forwardcan you please tell me if these are chiral or not?arrow_forward(a) how many stereoisomers are possible? (b) how many chiral carbons are in the structure? (c) is this optically active?arrow_forward
