Question
Chapter 4.3, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chiral objects has to be identified from the given objects.
Concept introduction:
Chirality: The geometric property of molecules where the structure of the molecule and its mirror image are not superimposable is known as chirality. Chiral molecules are optically active and they can rotate the plane polarized light.
Chiral objects are objects which are not superimposable on their respective mirror image.
Achiral objects are objects that are superimposable on their respective mirror image.
