Three molecules to consider (scroll down before you get dizzy)Three molecules to consider (scroll down before you get dizzy)

Which one of these molecules is chiral?Which one of these molecules is chiral?


Choose the molecule you want to work on:

To switch two substituents on carbon atoms, first click the button below to turn the feature on, and then click on any carbon atom.

For each molecule, write the skeletal structure, figure out the name, and explore whether it is different from its mirror image (whether it is chiral). For the last question, it helps to figure out whether any of the carbon atoms have four distinct groups connected to it.

Here is some space for your notes:
