Question

How many asymmetric carbon atoms are in 2, 3-dichlorobutane?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

no asymmetric carbon present here asymmetric mean chiral carbon 4 different groups attached honge

Answer 2

Answer:

Two asymmetric carbon atom are present in 2,3- dichlorobutane.

Explanation:

Asymmetric carbon atom means Carbon having four diffrent groups/ atoms attached to it .

2,3- dichlorobutane structure is

H3C - CHCl - CHCl - CH3

This structure is symmetrical .

Here 2nd and 3rd Carbon atom is attached to four diffrent groups.

1.H 2.Cl 3.CH3 4. CH3CHCl

Hence, 2 and 3 carbon are asymmetric carbon .
