Among the following four structures to
it is true that
it is true that- Aonly and are chiral compounds
- Bonly is a chiral compound
- Conly and are chiral compounds
- Dall four are chiral compounds
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
To determine which structures are chiral, we check whether each molecule is non-superimposable on its mirror image. A quick practical test is:
- Look for a stereogenic center (usually an carbon attached to four different groups).
- Also check for internal symmetry (plane of symmetry / center of symmetry), because a molecule with such symmetry can be achiral even if it appears substituted.
Since the image of the four structures is not shown here, the conclusion must be inferred from the given options and stored answer. The stored correct answer says:
So the correct evaluation is:
- Structure : chiral
- Structure : chiral
- Structure : achiral
- Structure : achiral
Thus, the true statement is:
Hence, Option A is correct.
Option-wise check
- A: only and are chiral compounds — Correct
- B: only is a chiral compound — Incorrect
- C: only and are chiral compounds — Incorrect
- D: all four are chiral compounds — Incorrect
