A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
A molecule is said to be chiral or asymmetric, if it does not possess any element of symmetry
and nonsuperimposable on its mirror images and this property of molecule to show non-superimposability is called chirality.
(allene)
Allenes exhibit optical isomerism (chiral), provided that the two groups attached to each terminal carbon atoms are different.
