Molecules whose mirror image is non-superimposable over them are known as chiral.
Which of the following molecules is chiral in nature?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Chiral/asymmetric carbon is that carbon in which carbon has formed four bonds with four
different groups. The structural formula of the given compounds are
2 - 
| 1-bromobutane
Br
2-bromobutane
With the help of these structural formula it is very clear that 2-bromobutane in which asterisk mark carbon atom is bonded to four different atoms or groups.
So, this molecule is chiral in nature. Other molecules do not contain four different atom in groups.
