The compound
Concept Introduction:
An asymmetrical carbon atom attached to four different atoms or groups is called a chirality center.
A molecule having at least one chiral center is chiral molecule.
If a molecule having a chiral carbon atom contains a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry, then it becomes achiral.
