Question

Which of the following have asymmetric carbon atom
A. `{:(" "Cl" "Br),(" |"" |"),(H-C-C--H),(" |"" |"),(" "H" "H):}`
B. `{:(" "H" "Cl),(" |"" |"),(H-C-C-Cl),(" |"" |"),(" "H" "H):}`
C. `{:(" "H" "Cl),(" |"" |"),(H-C-C-D),(" |"" |"),(" "H" "H):}`
D. `{:(" "H" "H),(" |"" |"),(H-C-C-CH_(3)),(" |"" |"),(" "Br" "OH):}`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C::D
`{:(" "H" "H,," "H" "Cl),(" |"" |",," |"" |"),(H-C-C-CH_(3)",",, H-C-C-D),(" |"" |",," |"" |"),(" "Br" "OH,," "H" "H):}`
Carbon atom, whose all the four valencies are satisfied with different atoms or groups is called asymmetric C-atom.
