Question

Identify the chiral molecule from the following. *
2-Bromobutane
1-Bromobutane
1,1-Dibromobutane
2,3-Dibromobutane

Answer 1

Answer:

Identify the chiral molecule from the following

(A) 1-Bromobutane

(B) 1,1-Dibromobutane

(C) 2,3-Dibromobutane

(D) 2-Bromobutane ✔

Explanation -

At first we need to make structure of all compounds to say which is chiral or not.

Structure -

( Refer to the attachment. )

Now,

we can see that 2-Bromobutane has a Chiral carbon (that carbon which has 4 different attachment).

Hence,

It's a chiral molecule.

Therefore,

Option D is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

2-chlorobutane is chiral molecule. The chiral carbon atom in 2-chlorobutane is marked with asterik.

1-chlorobutane is achiral.

Note: A carbon atom which is attached to four different atoms / groups of atoms is called chiral C atom.
