Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The total number of chiral centres present in the given molecular structure has to be stated.
Concept introduction: A center to which four different groups are attached in a tetrahedral geometry and show handedness is called chiral center. The molecule containing the chiral center is called chiral molecule.
