Label all the characteristics that apply from the following list:
chiral, achiral, entiomers, diastereomer, meso. Label any chiral centers as R or S
Can you give me a few examples of molecules with this list
Answer: Chiral Compounds measn the molecule must be active the critirea for chirality is first the central atom is must be Sp3 hybridised and attached through the 4 different groups like
y
X ---- C----------Z
w this type of molecule is chiral .
CHiral : such a asymmetrical structure such a way its mirror image is not superimposeble .
achiral : the molecule is achiral if it is superimposable on its mirror image are called achiral
example
it is an example of achiral molecule
3) Enentiomers : It is defined as one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other and are non superimposible are called enentiomers .
4: Diastereomer : it is a stereoisomers which are not a mirror images of each other and are non superimposible are called diastereomer .
example :
5) meso compounds : means the compounds in which the stereoisomers that is superimposible are called meso compound . example : Each half is a mirror image of the other half.
