following



correct answer will be marked as brainliest​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Identify Chiral molecule/s from the following.

a) CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3 ✔

b) CH3-CH2-CH(Br)-CH2-CH3

c) CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-Br

d) CH3-CH(CH3)-CH3-CH3

Option a) is chiral molecule.

Reason :-

⟼ In option a) 2nd no. C-atom is Chiral Carbon bcoz 2nd no. C-atom has 4 different attachment in it. In 2nd C-atom, 1 hydrogen, 1 alcohol group, 1 CH3 group and 1 C2H5 group are present which make option a) chiral.

Additional information :-

• A C-atom which has 4 different attachment in it refer to Chiral carbon.
