How many chiral centers are there in each of these two molecules?

Select an option to attempt

1. A
   1 and 1
2. B
   1 and 2
3. C
   2 and 2
4. D
   4 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

Chiral centers in two molecules

:A chiral center (stereocenter) is a carbon atom bonded to four DIFFERENT substituents.From the structures shown:• Molecule 1: 1 chiral center• Molecule 2: 2 chiral centersMethod: For each carbon in the structure, check if all 4 substituents are different (considering the entire chain attached, not just immediate neighbours).Answer: 1 and 2 (Option 2).
