Chiral molecules are represented by: I, II, III, IV, V. Which options contain chiral molecules?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which of the given molecular structures (I, II, III, IV, V) are chiral. Chiral molecules are those that cannot be superimposed on their mirror images, typically having four different substituents attached to a central carbon atom.
Answer
III and IV
The chiral molecules are represented by III and IV.
Answer for screen readers
The chiral molecules are represented by III and IV.
More Information
A chiral molecule contains at least one carbon atom bonded to four different atoms or groups. This causes non-superimposable mirror images, resulting in chirality.
Tips
Common mistakes include misidentifying a chiral center. Ensure each atom in question has four distinct substituents.
