The correct statement(s) about the compound given below is are

Options

  1. Athe compound is optically active
  2. Bthe compound possesses centre of symmetry
  3. Cthe compound possesses plane of symmetry
  4. Dthe compound possesses axis of symmetry

Correct answer

A. the compound is optically active

Step-by-step solution

The compound does not possess centre of symmetry and plane of symmetry but possesses the proper axis of symmetry (C_n ) . A C_n axis of symmetry is an axis about which the molecule can be rotated by 360^ / n and thereby produce a molecule indistinguishable from the original molecule. From this face H (on right) and Cl (on left) are facing towards us and again on rotating at 180^ C -2 comes at C -1 place and again H (on right) and Cl (on left) are facing. We get an indistinguishable form on 180^ rotation, so it has
