Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given set of objects the plane of symmetry should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Plane of symmetry: The molecules that has chiral centers but also has an internal plane of symmetry. This renders the molecule has achiral it does not have an enantiomers and not rotate plane polarized light. It is molecule similar phenomenon found in certain two-head and two-tails cats.

Non-plane of symmetry: This type of molecules is chiral, have enantiomers and rotate for the plane polarized light. These molecules non-superimposable on its mirror images.

To identify: The given set of molecules (a,b, d and e) plane of symmetry or not.
