8 Stereoisomers4. Defining and Recognizing Types of Stereoisomersa. CHIRAL COMPOUNDS:Figure 12: Examples of CHIRAL and ACHIRAL (not chiral) CompoundsThese compounds are CHIRAL These compounds are NOT CHIRAL(achiral)H OHHO HAECH 3 HH HBH CHF3CHCH 3CH 33CHCl H3CCl HH ClGCl HCH 3CH 3CH 3CHHO H2 CH 3DHO HHO HHHO HCH 2 CH 3CH 2 CH 3(1.) Place a checkmark (√) next to all chiral atoms in Figure 12.(2.) Do all chiral molecules in Figure 12 contain chiral atoms?(3.) Do any achiral molecules in Figure 12 contain chiral atoms? If so which ones?(4.) Definition: On the basis of the structures in Figure 12, define, as specifically as possible, the characteristics required for a compoundto be CHIRAL. Explain the logic used to devise your definition.
