Identify the chiral molecule from the following.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (C) and (D) only
(A): H, Cl, CH₃, Br → four different groups → chiral
(B): CH₃, OH, Cl, Cl → two Cl groups are identical → achiral
(C): H, Br, C₂H₅ (ethyl), —CH(CH₃)₂ (isopropyl) → four different groups → chiral
(D): CH₃, OH, H, C₂H₅ → four different groups → chiral
