Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Chiral centers in phenylalanine have to be marked. Using wedge-dash drawings, both the chiral isomers of it has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Isomerism: Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula with different arrangements of atoms.
- • Structural isomers: They have same molecular formula but different bonding arrangements of atoms.
- • Stereoisomers: They differ in their spatial arrangement of atoms.
Chirality: It refers to an atom in a molecule that contains four different substituents.

Isomer B CH 3 CH3arrow_forwardThe best definition of a chiral molecule is a molecule that has NO plane of symmetry. Sometimes, chiral molecules have no chiral centers. Alternatively, some molecules with chiral centers are not chiral. This molecule has a plane of symmetry. It is meso and achiral. Chiral molecules will interact with plane polarized light. Determine if this molecule is optically active. OH OH A) This molecule is chiral and optically active. B) This molecule is chiral but not optically active. C) This molecule is achiral and optically active. D) This molecule is achiral and not optically active.arrow_forward
