Answer:
option c
Explanation:
C4 from double bond has one H, one Ph, and 2 variable groups if loojed carefully, so it's the chiral carbon and hence chiral compound. chiral carbons have all different 4 groups attached to it.

Answer:
Option C is correct answer.
Chiral carbon lacks a plane of symmetry and is bound to four distinct atoms or groups.
Explanation:
- The molecule in option A is symmetric and lacks any chiral carbons.
- Option B is a chiral molecule since it contains two chiral carbons and lacks a plane of symmetry.
- It is impossible to superimpose chiral molecules on their mirror copies. Finding out if a molecule has a plane of symmetry is an useful way to tell if it is chiral. An achiral molecule is one that has a plane of symmetry (not chiral). Since Molecule 1 lacks a plane of symmetry, it is chiral.
- Harmony and symmetry. The term "chiral" (pronounced "ky-ral," from the Greek cheir, meaning "hand") refers to molecules that are not superimposable mirror replicas of one another. Your hands are a few of examples of common chiral items. The mirror images of your left and right hands cannot be superimposed.
