Vedclass · Answer

(A) molecule is chiral if it has a carbon atom bonded to four different groups. $(i)$ The central carbon is bonded to $H$,$C_2H_5$,$CH_3$,and $Y$. All four groups are different,so it is chiral. (ii) The central carbon is bonded to $H$,$CH_3$,$Y$,and $Y$. Since two groups $(Y)$ are the same,it is achiral. (iii) The central carbon is bonded to $H$,$C_2H_5$,$X$,and $Y$. All four groups are different,so it is chiral. (iv) The central carbon is bonded to $H$,$Y$,and two identical alkyl chains. Since two groups are the same,it is achiral. Therefore,molecules $(i)$ and $(iii)$ are chiral.
