Question
Chapter 5, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given options, molecules that are chiral and capable of existing as enantiomers are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Enantiomers are a type of stereoisomers that are non-superposable mirror images of each other.
A chiral molecule is one that has non-superposa-ble mirror image and an achiral molecule is one that has superposable mirror image.
A chiral molecule and its mirror image are enantiomers.
Enantiomers exist only for chiral molecules.
For any molecule to have enantiomers, there must be one chiral center present.
A common chiral center present in molecules is a carbon atom attached to four different groups.
