Question
Chapter 5, Problem 6PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of chiral carbon atoms in the given compound is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
A carbon having four different group is called chiral center.
A chiral molecule is non-superimposable on its mirror image.
In chiral molecules, an asymmetric carbon atom is present.
If multiple bonds are present, the carbon atom will not be considered as a chiral carbon.
