Identify chiral molecule from following.
Options
- A2 - Chloropropane
- B2 - Chloro - 2 - methylbutane
- C3 - Chloro - 3 - methylbutane
- D2 - Chloropentane
Correct answer
D. 2 - Chloropentane
Step-by-step solution
Options: 1. 2-Chloropropane (Not chiral, lacks a chiral center). 2. 2-Chloro-2-methylbutane (Not chiral, no four different groups on carbon). 3. 3-Chloro-3-methylbutane (Not chiral, symmetry exists). 4. 2-Chloropentane (Chiral, contains a chiral center at C-2). Answer: Option 4: 2-Chloropentane.
