Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason for having the different number of chiral centers for the given stereoisomers should be justified.

Concept Introduction: The stereoisomers are molecules that share the same molecular formula and arrangement of atoms, but differ from one another in three-dimensional space.

The stereoisomerism is the arrangement of atoms in molecules whose connectivity remains the same but their arrangement in space is different in each isomer.

A stereo center is any atoms in a molecule for which exchanging two groups create different stereoisomers. Further the asymmetric or sterocenters labeled as R (Rectus) or S (Sinister) configuration.

The plane of symmetry is an imaginary plane that two groups a molecule divided into halves that are mirror images of each other.
