- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Correct answer
C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Step-by-step solution
Compound A is optically active due to the presence of chiral carbon The R / S system is an important nomenclature system for denoting enantiomers. This approach labels each chiral center R or S according to a system by which its substituents are each assigned a priority, according to the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules (CIP), based on atomic number. When the center is oriented so that the lowest-priority substituent of the four is pointed away from the viewer, the viewer will then see two possibilities: if the pr
