This type of carbon atom is called a Chiral carbon atom.
- To make a complete stable molecule, a carbon atom can connect with four additional groups or elements.
- When all four groups are distinct from one another, however, the mirror image of the molecule is no longer superimposable.
- Carbon is referred to as a chiral center or an asymmetrical carbon atom in this circumstance.
- The molecule possesses optical activity and the property is also called chirality.
- For example, CH₃CHBrCl is a molecule where carbon is bonded to four different groups.
