Question

structure of lowest molecular weight alcohol which is chiral​

Answer 1

Answer:

butan-2-ol or 2-butanol

Explanation:

chiral carbons are carbon atoms that bond with different atoms/ groups of atoms using its valency. now, if you were to draw the display structure of butan-2-ol or 2-butanoi, you would see that the second carbon bonds with a methyl group, a hydroxyl/ alcohol group, an ethyl group, and a Hydrogen atom, therefore the second carbon is chiral. shorter carbon chains are not chiral as they bond with 2 or more of the same atom/ group of atoms.
