A) Three
B) Two
C) One
D) Four
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
The carbon which is bonded to four different atoms or group of atoms is called chiral carbon atom. It is generally indicated by asterisk as\[\overset{*}{\mathop{C}}\,\]. The structure of 2, 3, 4-tri chloropentane is given as \[{{H}_{3}}C\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ Cl \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{*}{\mathop{C}}\,H}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ Cl \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ Cl \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{*}{\mathop{C}}\,H}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\] Here, the number of chiral carbon atoms is two.
