A) all four are chiral compounds
B) only I and II are chiral compounds
C) only III is a chiral compound
D) only II and IV are chiral compounds
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Chiral compounds are those which have one chiral centre. All four atoms or groups attached to carbon are different. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{7}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
