        Which of the following compounds is not chiral?

    A)  1-chloropentane

    B)  2-chloropentane

    C)  1-chloro-2-methyl pentane

    D)  3-chloro-2-methyl pentane

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Chiral carbon has all the four different groups attached to it. (a)\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl\]no chiral caii/on atom (b)\[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Cl \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{*}{\mathop{CH}}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]one chiral carbon atom (c)\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{*}{\mathop{CH}}}\,C{{H}_{2}}Cl\]one chiral carbon atom (d)\[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{*}{\mathop{CH}}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  Cl \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{*}{\mathop{CH}}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]two chiral carbon atom
