Answer» Correct Answer - A `underset(2,3,4-"trimethylhexane")(H_(3)overset(1)C-overset(CH_(3))overset(2|)underset(H)underset(|)C-overset(CH_(3))overset(3|**)underset(H)underset(|)C-overset(CH_(3))overset(4|)underset(H)underset(|)C-overset(5)CH_(2)overset(6)CH_(3))` This compound is chiral beacuse its moelcule has two chiral carbon atoms `(C-3` and `C-4)`. Pther molecules are chiral due to the presence of a plane of symmetry. |
