Question

How to know whether a carbon is chiral?
Pls explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Chiral molecules usually contain at least one carbon atom with four nonidentical substituents. Such a carbon atom is called a chiral center (or sometimes a stereogenic center), using organic-speak. Any molecule that contains a chiral center will be chiral (with the exception of a meso compound).

Answer 2

Answer:

Look for carbons with four different groups attached to identify potential chiral centers. Draw your molecule with wedges and dashes and then draw a mirror image of the molecule. If the molecule in the mirror image is the same molecule, it is achiral. If they are different molecules, then it is chiral.
