NEETChemistryGeneral Organic Chemistry
Statement I Molecules that are not superimposable on their mirror images are chiral. Statement II All chiral molecules have chiral centres.
Options
- AStatement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
- BStatement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I
- CStatement I is true, Statement II is false
- DStatement I is false, Statement II is true
Correct answer
C. Statement I is true, Statement II is false
Step-by-step solution
Molecules having perpendicular dissymmetric plane are supposed to have chirality without having chiral centre. For e.g.,
