    Which of the following molecule contains asymmetric carbon atom?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}CHCl.COOH\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-COOH\]

    C)  \[Cl\cdot C{{H}_{2}}\cdot C{{H}_{2}}COOH\]

    D)  \[C{{l}_{2}}CHCOOH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Asymmetric (or chiral) carbon atom is that carbon atom, which is bonded to four different atoms or groups, e.g. \[\alpha \text{-}\]chloropro-piordc acid has a chiral carbon atom. \[{{H}_{3}}C--\underset{Cl}{\overset{H}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{{{C}^{*}}}}}\,}}}\,--COOH\]
