Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of chiral centers in the given molecule is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

An atom must be sp3 hybridized and must be attached to four different atoms or groups to be classified as a chiral center. A nitrogen atom can be considered as a chiral center if it is bonded to four groups, and has a 1+ charge.
