Question

6. Determine whether each compound is chiral or achiral. select the single best answer for each part.

**Image Description for Educational Website:** The image displays molecular structures used for determining chirality. **Top Structure:** - **Description:** A three-dimensional molecular structure featuring a triangle. Two chlorine atoms (Cl) are attached at different positions. - **Chirality Options:** - o chiral - o achiral - An incorrect answer indicator (X) is displayed. **Bottom Structure (Part 4 of 4):** - **Description:** A bicyclic structure with one chlorine atom (Cl) attached. The molecule appears to have a bridged structure. - **Chirality Options:** - o chiral - o achiral - An incorrect answer indicator (X) is displayed. These structures are presented for analysis to determine whether they are chiral or achiral. Chirality in molecules is a key concept in stereochemistry, and involves the presence of a non-superimposable mirror image.

### Part 1 of 4 #### Molecular Structure: - A chemical compound is shown with atoms arranged in a specific configuration. - The central carbon atom is bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH) on the left, a chlorine atom (Cl) below, another carbon atom on the right, and an additional carbon atom above. - The second carbon atom to the right is bonded to another hydroxyl group (OH). #### Chirality Options: - The question asks whether the molecule is chiral or achiral. - Selection buttons provide two options: - O chiral - O achiral ### Part 2 of 4 #### Molecular Structure: - This diagram displays a cyclopentane ring with two chlorine atoms as substituents. - Chlorine atoms are positioned at the second and fourth carbon atoms, indicating stereochemistry with wedge and dash bonds: - The left chlorine is shown with a wedge bond (projecting out). - The right chlorine is shown with a dashed bond (projecting behind). #### Chirality Options: - Similar to Part 1, this part asks for the chirality of the molecule. - Selection buttons are provided with options: - O chiral - O achiral This educational content is meant to guide learners through identifying chiral centers in molecular structures and distinguish between chiral and achiral compounds based on their stereochemistry.
