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. | 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).
