Question 77: [Organic > Introductory Organic]
What will always be a characteristic of a compound containing a single carbon atom with four different groups bonded to it?
1 It will have an optical isomer. 2 It will have a chiral centre. 3 It will have a structural isomer.
1 It will have an optical isomer. 2 It will have a chiral centre. 3 It will have a structural isomer.
Reference: Past Exam Paper -June 2003 Paper 1 Q37
Solution 77:
Answer: B.
Statement 2 is true because a chiral centre is defined as a carbon with four different substituents and a chiral centre will always display optical isomerism therefore Statement 1 is also true.
Statement 3 could be true however no condition that will prove it happening every time so cannot be true.
Statement 3 could be true however no condition that will prove it happening every time so cannot be true.
