Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chiral should be identified for the given molecules by using its structure.

Concept Introduction:

Chirality: The molecule is a non-superimposable on its mirror image. The presence of an asymmetric carbon center is one of several structural features that induce chirality in different organic molecules.

The single chiral atoms or similar structural feature in a compound causes that compound to have two possible structures which are non-superimposable, each a mirror image of the other.
