Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.49SP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Out of the lactic acid, acetic acid and propanoic acid, the molecules which exist as a chiral molecule and two mirror-image forms.
Concept introduction:
Optical activity is defined as the phenomena, in which the mirror image of any compound is non-superimposable on it, in this case, compound or substance is said to be chiral.
The point about which compound is non-superimposable on its mirror image is known as the chiral center.
For the atom to be chiral, it must be connected to four different atoms or groups of atoms.

Pyrethrins, such as jasmolin II(below), are a group of naturalcompounds synthesized by flowers of the genus Chrysanthemum(known as pyrethrum flowers) to act as insecticides.(a) Circle and name the functional groups in jasmolin II.(b) What is the hybridization of the numbered carbons?(c) Which, if any, of the numbered carbons are chiral centers?
(a)The concept of hybridization was first proposed by Linus Pauling in 1931,
that explain about the concept of mixing orbitals to form new hybrid
orbital suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds. Draw
the kekule structure of a compound that contains only carbon and
hydrogen atoms that has:
(1)
One sp hybridize carbon, two sp? hybridized carbons and two
sp hybridized carbon
(ii)
Two sp' hybridized carbon and two sp hybridized carbons
(ii)
Two sp? hybidized carbons and two sp hybydized carbon
Indicate whether each statement is true or false. (a) Butanecontains carbons that are sp2 hybridized. (b) Cyclohexaneis another name for benzene. (c) The isopropyl group containsthree sp3-hybridized carbons. (d) Olefin is anothername for alkyne.
